Dynacons Systems & Solutions was incorporated as a private limited company on September 26, 1995 and was converted into a public limited company on November 30, 1999. It is an IT company with global perspectives with its headquarters at Mumbai and branches all over India and at multiple locations abroad.
Dynacons was evolved by a team of professionals with expertise in IT solutions. These activities started twenty years ago with management consultancy, which created the need for a software consultancy that carved the niche of supply of hardware and software as a package in the form of a “solution”.
The company has created a niche market and image with three main aspects -- Innovation, Technology and Services. All these made Dynacons a reliable source for providing IT solutions to its customers. The company has the technical expertise and the service delivery infrastructure to serve customers at a level of quality consistent with their expectation. Dynacons helps in the selection of the right technology and application that will yield the greatest return and build a business case for implementation based on a lower total cost of ownership and higher performance.

The adoption of Social media, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) technologies is expected to drive growth in all the segments. Cloud and client maturity are the major drivers for this, especially in IT. Dynacons is adapting this technology for upgrading its existing solutions as part of its offerings.
Expected opening up of  infrastructure sectors like roads, airports and sea ports, national e-Governance initiatives and implementation of Mission projects, is going to drive an increase in IT spend. This presents unprecedented opportunity for growth for the company.
Company derives more than 15% of its revenue from Storage space, which has grown at a pace of 25% YOY for last 3 – 5 years. Company has adopted revolutionary Software Defined Strorage (SDS) in the enterprise technology space. This is an upcoming technology in this segment and article on company’s promoters this was printed on the cover page of Channel World Magazine September 2014. Link here

SDS Technology provides the following benefits over the traditional data storage method:

• Flexibility—Hardware-defined storage solutions are rigid, proprietary systems that lock you into specific vendors and protocols. By contrast,software-defined storage tends to be based on open systems that are much more adaptable to changing needs and that allow you to mix and match storage layers for optimal cost effectiveness.

• Scalability—Software-defined solutions provide immediacy and relatively limitless scalability. To scale a hardware-based system requires the time and money and floor space of buying—installing—configuring the hardware. To scale a software-defined system, on the other hand, requires just a couple of software commands.

• Economy—When considering the real cost of ownership (RCO), software-defined storage reduces the cost of buying new gear, the cost of operating the equipment, and even the cost of disposal fees. Taken together, the cumulative effect of all these cost reductions can generate savings as large as 70% or more.

• Resource leveragability—With the operational simplicity of software-defined storage, businesses don’t have to maintain engineering overhead to develop separate solutions for different hardware and media, thereby allowing IT departments to focus more resources on strategic business issues.

I feel that with supernormal explosion in data these days and to save every bit of it would compel organizations to go for SDS technology and will benefit Dynacon going forward.
