SystemsUp have successfully delivered
a scalable, flexible infrastructure
capable of cost effectively accommodating
business growth and expanding data volumes.
As IT Manager Shaun Huggett outlined
“This was the best technical solution
for our business needs and for the future
growth of our company.
The solution delivered in three main
fields; Improved storage capacity through
an HP iSCSI SAN, disaster recovery in
the event of primary site failure and
ease of management.
The SAN solution provided disk capacity
in line with projected data growth.
Using iSCSI meant the environment was
based on familiar technologies, allowing
for seamless support. The shared storage
device enabled VMware’s cluster
based High Availability and Dynamic
Resource Scheduler to further reduce
downtime.
With reliance on time consuming and
admin intensive tape backup, the time
required to recover from site failure
needed to be vastly reduced. A combination
of Symantec’s Backup Exec and
VMware’s Consolidated Backup provided
a disk based solution capable of restoring
servers from multiple points in time,
in minutes with minimum effort.
Server management was simplified by
the provision of Virtual Centre to control
the servers from a single point. Additional
functionality was gained through easy
server cloning, simplified systems testing
as well as the ability to easily migrate
servers between hosts in the event of
needing to do system upgrades. |
