Problem
- Before outsourcing, the plan was to cleanse the IT infrastructure, further reduce its complexity and the costs associated with that and significantly increase the degree of virtualization.
- A large part of the servers has already been virtualized
- Achievement of the necessary protection against failure, in particular for the remaining physical machines, would only be possible with high investment
- The intention is to cut operating costs
Contribution of ResultONE
- Analysis of the as-is situation, identification of further potential in virtualization
- Development of resource and capacity balancing between the individual servers and the various production and test environments
- Development of a disaster recovery concept on the basis of the new technical situation
- Completion of the relevant migration measures
Outcome
- Degree of virtualization increased to well above 70%
- Protection against failure was increased (“zero outage” concept)
- Implementation of the disaster recovery concept initiated
- Costs for the test environments cut by 30%
