Establishment of a new virtual environment that is safe, efficient and easy to manage.

The City was looking for a company with advanced expertise to assist in the choice of technologies but who could also be responsible for the deployment, for a turnkey solution.

Establishment of a new virtual environment that is safe, efficient and easy to manage.

The City of Dollard-des-Ormeaux had 40 physical servers to virtualize. Prival was selected because of its experience in the implementation and configuration of a safe network infrastructure as well as its certified team of network’s administrators and experts in implementation. Prival has compressed the 40 servers in 3 new host VMware Dell servers. For the storage, Dell solutions were also used with the series of Power Connect switched and EqualLogic storage. Dell and VMware offer virtualization solutions that reduce the complexity and costs and improve efficiency and control. Dell and VMware alliance ensures significant benefits, regardless of the size or the company or the sector of activity. This alliance is based on a close collaboration to test, certify and improve VMware-technology based on servers and Dell storage solutions.

The transaction site already had a DELL unit. Prival has therefore chosen to deployed a unit of the same product family. The proposed solution is a shared disk (SAN) PS DRIVE 4100E with 12 disks 2 Terra 7.2K NL SAS DRIVE, for a total of 24TB. Dell 4100E PS storage solution provides a virtualized architecture, an enterprise software and easier management at an affordable price.
