Technical Engagements
Emanate Health - Veeam 11 Backup and Replication Linux Hardened Repository Implementation
The customer required a solution that provided protection from ransomware for a large dataset for an ongoing project. For this solution, an HPE Apollo was selected for use as a Veeam Linux Hardened Repository. The solution was implemented and tested successfully per the customer requirements.
Farmers Insurance - Veeam Backup and Replication Scale Out Backup Repository Implementation
The customer required a solution for offsite backups that also offered ransomware protections for all production systems at multiple data centers. For this solution, Wasabi Cloud Storage was selected for offsite storage. Wasabi Cloud Storage offers an S3 compatible object storage solution that also offers ransomware protection via immutability. The customer had an existing Veeam 11 Backup and Replication environment. To simplify data transfer to the Wasabi Cloud Storage, Veeam Scale out Backup Repositories were configured to automate the data transfer process and simplify administration.
Hoag Hospital - HPE Synergy Install and VMware vSphere 6.5 to vSphere 7 upgrade
The customer was in a position that required a substantial environment upgrade due to support expiration for VMware vSphere 6.5/6.7 Hypervisor. A large portion of the compute infrastructure required replacement due to outdated hardware that would not be supported on VMware vSphere 7.0 Hypervisor. For this solution HPE Synergy was selected as the compute solution. HPE Gen9 and Gen10 servers were also repurposed as needed to compliment the primary compute platform. As part of the project over 1500 virtual machines were migrated from the outdated HPE compute and VMware Hypervisor to the new infrastructure provided for the customer minimizing downtime.
Zenith American Solutions - Data Center Move and Data Migration
The customer had a business requirement to move from one data center to a new data center provided solution. A substantial environment upgrade was also required due to support expiration for VMware vSphere 6.5/6.7 Hypervisor. A large portion of the compute infrastructure required replacement due to outdated hardware that would not be supported on VMware vSphere 7.0 Hypervisor. For this solution HPE Synergy was selected as the compute solution. As part of the project over 1200 virtual machines were migrated from the outdated HPE compute and VMware Hypervisor to the new infrastructure without any downtime for virtual machine resources.
