Solution
​
The customer approached Simoda with a list of issues and objectives they needed to achievevery quickly to ensure compliance with global IT regulations.
Our solutions & technical teams worked closely with the customer to build an architecture design that
would achieve all areas within budget. The solution included new HPE & NetApp hardware infrastructure to deliver dual site replicated virtual services using the latest VMware virtualisation framework.
Within the design was the ability to utilise the global AWS storage architecture for cloud replication of backup data.
Simoda installed all physical hardware, updated to the latest secure firmware’s. Connected the system to the core and built the virtual environment, tested the replication of SRM/NetApp and made sure reverse replication worked.
We built the virtual environment and migrated the HyperV machines into the VMware infrastructure, we also built the replication standards and backup routines to compliment the businesses global policies.
Results / Outcomes
-
0% downtime achieved
-
DR available in minutes rather than hours
-
Happy global leadership team
