Data center virtualization solution offers better availability and scalability for nutrition company’s IT environment

, Mar 11, 2014

Scenario
The client needed data center expansion and restructuring. It opted to consolidate old servers through virtualization, so applications outside the data center could be hosted (such as Call Manager platform) and other applications already running locally could be virtualized. The client needed a platform based on new technologies with scalability, high availability and easy management.

Solution
The solution offered was a VSPEX configuration validated and previously approved for the virtualization of midrange company’s servers. The technical solution choice was made to streamline sales process and ensure that the performance and integration of all components that make up the solution would be met as required by the client.

Computational and network demand was based on Cisco’s UCS blades platform and Nexus Family, respectively. Virtualization was based on VMWare hypervisor and EMC VNX 5300 Storage array was chosen as storage solution. The impact on customer business will be minimal since the technology enables physical server migration to virtual servers in short time window.

Benefits
The solution will offer the customer with excellent scalability both in computational and in storage demand, maintaining the characteristics of easy environment management and preserving the investment when expanding the environment’s capacity is needed. The solution provided by PromonLogicalis will also offer the customer with high availability with no single point of failure for all solution components, facilitating future technology
