National ITMX – Together We Innovate

Our Partner

With over 20 years of experience, Datapro Computer Systems serves more than 1,000 customers across diverse industries in Thailand. The leading enterprise IT solutions and service provider is staffed by over 400 skilled professionals.

DCS, a VMware Principal Partner, started working with NITMX more than seven years ago when it supported the payments provider’s move from the traditional three-tier architecture to VMware hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), featuring vSAN.
With transaction volumes increasing exponentially, NITMX turned to DCS to map out the next iteration of its infrastructure.
“We are in safe hands with our trusted partners VMware and DCS. One is the undisputed leader in virtualization and multi-cloud technology while the other has the proven skills and deep expertise for a successful implementation,” says Niwat Kanwaset, Assistant Managing Director, Platform Ops, NITMX.

NITMX has been consistently rolling out new initiatives to boost the financial infrastructure for consumers and businesses, both locally and overseas. Because of these initiatives and more, NITMX was processing more transactions than it had ever done before. In 2022, the company processed more than 14 billion transactions. But its IT infrastructure was reaching its limit, and the company needed a scalable solution to accommodate future growth.

VMware® Cloud Foundation™

Efficiently manage virtual machine (VM) and container workloads. Deliver cloud benefits to on-premises, full-stack hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) deployments.

VMware Aria Operations™

Enable IT operations management across private, hybrid and multi-cloud environments with a unified, high-performance platform.

Partnering with VMware to design and deploy a tailored solution that aligns with the company’s unique requirements, DCS supported NITMX in migrating the nationally important PromptPay system to VMware Cloud Foundation. There are now about 80 virtual machines on the hybrid cloud platform.

The automation feature in VMware Cloud Foundation has brought true cloud agility to NITMX enterprise applications on-premises, significantly simplifying management and freeing resources for new projects.
Supporting self-service automation through templates for defining policies that bind compute, storage, network and security resources, VMware Cloud Foundation reduces the mundane work from the IT team while ensuring internal users can provision resources easily and quickly.
With VMware Aria Operations (formerly VMware vRealize Operations Manager), NITMX is able to optimize resource utilization and reduce infrastructure requirements, achieving significant cost savings.
NITMX can now handle 2,600 transactions per second but have the capacity to go up to 10,000 transactions per second without compromising performance, as the team can dynamically scale infrastructure.
