HP today announced that Viacom18 Media Pvt. Ltd. has
selected HP Networking solutions, a core component of HP Converged
Infrastructure, to build a high-performance, scalable network infrastructure at
its new headquarters in Mumbai. The new technology will streamline
communications between offices and provide employees with on-demand access to
media-rich content.
Viacom18, a joint venture between Viacom and the
Network18 Group, comprises multiple entertainment brands spanning television,
film and digital media. It currently operates six general entertainment channels
including MTV and Comedy Central, as well as Viacom18 Motion Pictures, which
produces Hindi films. With more than 700 employees, Viacom18 consolidated its
three existing offices in Mumbai and moved its headquarters into a new,
state-of-the-art, seven-story building.
This new, larger office required
a high-speed, reliable network infrastructure to manage communication with other
offices in Bangalore and New Delhi, while enabling on-demand access to
information and high-definition digital content for employees. To meet this
need, Viacom18 selected HP FlexNetwork architecture to provide high performance

digital content on the network,” said Yogesh Butala, manager for information
systems, Viacom18. “HP FlexNetwork architecture provides us with the high
performance and simplified management necessary to support multimedia content
across our network, while also supporting the possibility for future
expansion.”
