An outdated data centre with end-of-life hardware required a comprehensive modernisation initiative to enhance efficiency and performance.
We executed a seamless migration process by utilising Dell servers, VMware ESXi Hypervisor, and vCenter controller. This involved setting up the new infrastructure alongside the legacy equipment, deploying ESXi and vCenter on the latest hardware, transferring existing VMs from the old environment to the new one, configuring the networking settings, transitioning the new system online, and successfully switching over from the old production setup to the latest production environment.
The client experienced enhanced stability and minimised attack vulnerabilities through the implementation of updated software, resulting in an overall improved security posture. Additionally, the upgrade to advanced servers and switching hardware led to decreased latency, optimising system performance and responsiveness.
A prominent global manufacturer, facing challenges with the efficiency of its widely distributed manufacturing facilities due to an outdated data centre, sought a data centre refresh. The seamless transition from its current data centre to a new VMware on the Nutanix platform was identified as a critical priority to enhance operational capabilities across its global network of plants.
Aspire implemented ESXi hypervisor clusters, VMware vCenter, and the Nutanix AOS Acropolis Operating System, incorporating hardware alerting and remote console access. Additionally, remote management was established at both primary and disaster recovery sites, comprehensive environment documentation was provided to facilitate deployment, replication was configured, and distributed storage and encryption were set up to ensure a robust and secure infrastructure.
The client successfully migrated all existing virtual machines and infrastructure to the new Nutanix platform within a swift 3-week. This led to a modernised infrastructure that enhanced user experience and bolstered environment stability. For instance, the new platform improved the speed and reliability of their operations, leading to increased productivity and reduced downtime.
