Proact ensures a seamless upgrade of the converged infrastructure environment at Exonet
December 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Exonet has called in Proact to upgrade its existing converged
infrastructure environment. The infrastructure supports Exonet, a provider of
hosting solutions, as it seeks to deliver customers with reliable and high
quality services.
Three years ago Exonet switched to FlexPod - a combination of
Cisco UCS blade servers, Cisco Nexus core switches and a NetApp storage cluster.
Following this transition, Exonet decided that they needed a central point of
contact which had knowledge of converged infrastructure environments. Exonet
called in Proact, who had gained wide experience after installing and managing
various converged infrastructure solutions in the Netherlands - as well as in
other European countries.
One of the first projects to be carried out by Proact at Exonet was an upgrade
of the storage environment within the converged infrastructure platform. Proact
completed an analysis of the existing workload and thereby determined the
estimated load after the upgrade. This estimate proved to be exact following the
end of the project. Exonet now benefits from greatly improved performance, lower
latency and a more stable environment.
The next step was the extension of the entire converged infrastructure. Proact
thereby provided an advisory and supporting role following the delivery of the
hardware and software.
