Power outages are common in Myanmar due to the outdated and overworked electricity grid, with each disruption lasting for hours. This caused frequent downtime in its mission-critical ERP system, at this point an engineer would have to go back to the office to troubleshoot the ERP system since it was hosted on-premises. If the ERP system went offline along with the servers, transactions would not be recorded, hence impacting business operations. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system that provided battery backup power was expensive and not feasible. At the same time, new cybersecurity legislation might require data to be stored locally.

VMware Cloud Provider

Deliver high-value cloud services and worry less on managing infrastructure and tooling.

VMware Cloud™

Achieve multi-cloud transformation objectives through a comprehensive solution on a flexible subscription purchase and consumption model.

With the pandemic curtailing travel and bringing about lockdowns and work-from-home policies, Oway started looking for a solution that would solve this perennial problem and optimize operational costs. To overcome this challenge Oway engaged GTMH, one of the leading telecommunications companies in the country, to migrate the ERP workload to the GTMH Edge Cloud, built on VMware Cloud technologies. Compared to a hyperscaler, local hosting would reduce latency in the ERP system and comply with regulations. If the Government eventually mandates that all data must be stored in the country, Oway is in a position to move its other workloads quickly to the local cloud with GTMH and VMware.

The business can operate seamlessly even during power outages.
By enabling the IT team to work remotely and troubleshoot issues quickly from the vCloud Director portal, business performance has improved by 30%.
Ability to increase bandwidth quickly if there is traffic congestion
By eliminating physical servers, Oway was able to immediately reduce the operational costs of procuring, maintaining, cooling and storing hardware.
Migrating their on-premises infrastructure to the cloud not only greatly reduced the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their IT infrastructure but also delivers increased manageability, reliability and productivity
