Deltadata Mandiri: Architecting Next-Gen Enterprises
Steven Law, CEO After his ten year old tenure with NetApp, when Steven Law wanted to venture off the beaten path to give form to his brainchild, one of Law’s core supporters was the modern-day authority on data, NetApp themselves. Taking cue from his years of expertise and deeming Netapp as the future of data management, Law founded Deltadata: a company that delivers NetApp's data center infrastructure solutions by leveraging software defined processes and technologies. As a gold partner and official service implementer of NetApp, Deltadata's mission is to help organizations capitalize on the new wave of digital transformation with NetApp's enterprise data management solution. The company's host of services spans storage assessment, data protection consulting, and cloud advisory to platform design services.In a world where businesses are reinventing their operations with cloud and shifting from a CapEx to an OpEx model, a prime concern for CIOs is to create more business value with less infrastructure and cost. “We believe that NetApp's next generation solutions including Oncommand Insight (OCI), a platform for hybrid cloud-based data center management and NetApp hyper converged infrastructure (HCI), a new innovative enterprise server and storage solution for private and hybrid cloud,” remarks Steven Law, CEO, Deltadata.
While there is little denying that hybrid cloud is considered critical en route to digital transformation, most of the IT environments today encompass a diverse mix of legacy systems and public and private clouds that are not designed to work together. In such a scenario, NetApp's OCI along with Deltadata’s acumen is the answer to effectively monitoring and managing a multivendor hybrid cloud IT infrastructure. NetApp OCI is an agent-less, infrastructure analytics platform that offers full visibility into a storage environment. When integrated into daily operations, the analytics platform detects vulnerabilities and risks in an environment, thereby enabling administrators to spend less time on routine troubleshooting and concentrate more on improving operational efficiency.
Fueling Storage Disruption
Deltadata leverages NetApp technology and creates a roadmap for comprehensive data protection and storage, enabling organizations to turn their data into a business accelerator. Before prescribing a solution suite, the company poses some fundamental questions to their clients pertaining to the strength of the current data protection implementations, the outcome they are trying to achieve, and the deterrents in attaining those desired outcomes.
This is followed by an assessment of storage management capabilities based on inputs and reports through which Deltadata identifies the root cause behind storage inefficiencies. To catalyze storage performance improvement, Deltadata then establishes a prioritized list of actionable recommendations such as workload reassignment and hardware enhancement. The company then implements NetApp products and ensures that the design configurations support actual workloads. These solutions not only align data protection capabilities with business goals but also lower risks and improve cost efficiency. To top it all, Deltadata generates a performance assessment report which helps in verifying whether implemented features are in line with a client's needs.
Although Deltadata's aim is to empower organizations gain greater benefits from their cloud investments, according to Law, a present-day challenge in the industry is the reservation about deploying mission-critical applications in the cloud. While enterprises look for rapid provisioning, elasticity, and on-demand advantages of cloud applications in one hand, the concerns around security and data control are forcing them to host mission-critical applications on bare-metal systems deep in the data center. “The industry is not ready to move critical workflows into the cloud, however, the vast capabilities of NetApp HCI compel businesses to relook at their decision,” remarks Law. NetApp HCI optimizes and protects data across any cloud with a unique Quality of Service (QoS) that allows the granular control of every application and information and manages risks around performance. For maximum benefit, the company provides complete market education on products to ensure that their clients receive the best services.
A shining exemplar of Deltadata's expertise would be when one of Japan's biggest cloud solution providers gained significant market traction with Deltadata's services. The client was facing a roadblock as their business was not reflecting the preferred return on investment (ROI). Deltadata convinced the client that an essential add-on in their offerings would be the inclusion of mission critical workflows. The sure-fire nature of Deltadata's solution was further demonstrated through a proof of concept (PoC).

We believe that NetApp's next generation solutions including Oncommand Insight (OCI), and Symantec Data Insight (SDI) are fitting resources that enable businesses to do more with less

Subsequent to the solution implementation, the client gained an additional 20 percent customers in no time. A key factor about the expanded client base was that all of them were premium customers who brought in a marked increase in revenue.

Even though we take the longer and the more difficult pathway to success, we assure quality and customer satisfaction,” adds Law.
Observing a rising demand for NetApp infrastructure, HCI, and storage, the company plans to put an edge on their services by positioning safer NetApp use and familiarizing users with advanced NetApp capabilities such as data deduplication. In the days to come, Deltadata will extend its infrastructure solutions, specifically for the energy and public sectors. Moreover, for maximum client value creation and to position themselves as the fastest growing IT solution provider, the company will focus on addressing compliance issues, developing content management features, and a pay-for-use model. As the market for data and storage management steeps in innovation with each passing day, Deltadata has their eyes set on bigger goals. “I believe that nobody can guarantee what the future looks like. The more important aspects are to scale-up the opportunities, calculate the risk involved, and run confidently forward to make way for a disruption that resonates loud and strong across the industry,” ends Law.
