Sohar Aluminum
chooses KalSoft for IT Infrastructure
Implementation to boost efficiency and
improve effectiveness
Sohar
Aluminum, a major contributor to
the Aluminum Smelter initiative in Oman
and the first aluminum production
company in Oman ,
has recently awarded KalSoft, a premier IT
Solutions provider with a mega
project for setting up the entire IT
infrastructure in its two offices;
Muscat and Sohar. The company currently has more than 300
employees and is playing a pivotal role
in the first ever Greenfield aluminum
smelter project in the region for over
25 years.
KalSoft, the Microsoft Gold Certified
Partner, with a reputation of providing
break through technologies, won this
project for the vast amount of
experience and proficiency its
consultants have in the realm of IT
industry. Sohar Aluminum needed a complete
data center to be set up from scratch.
The current scenario required a
transition from the current IT
practices and infrastructure to a
standardized setup to keep the
productivity and performance consistent.
The set of solutions include Active
Directory for an enhanced central
management system; Microsoft Exchange
2007 for a more unified messaging
service and System Management Server (SMS)
for improved server capabilities. In
addition to these Microsoft Operations
Manager (MOM) and Internet Acceleration
Manager (ISA) are also included in the
current deployment program. This will
facilitate Sohar Aluminum to streamline
operations to serve the company’s
continuously growing needs.
KalSoft’s proposed set of solutions will
ensure smooth running of their systems
with security, potency, ease and will
enhance the overall productivity of
their back-offices. The solution will
ensure seamless operation of all
services providing security to the
entire IT infrastructure and will
support business continuity of plant
operations in a cost effective manner
thus keeping up with the industry in
automating and streamlining systems.
