Project Objectives

A clients’ server hardware and software had reached end-of-life and needed to be upgraded and replaced.

  • Specify and install new server hardware and software, using as little rack space as possible

  • Specify and implement offsite backup

  • Perform the works out of hours, in one weekend so that business could stop on Friday afternoon and continue as normal on Monday morning

Project Results

  • The client was happy with their new 1U virtualised server solution, reduced from a 4U physical solution

  • The end users noticed an improvement in accessing files and database, whilst seemingly “nothing changed” from a working point of view, allowing them to continue with their working days as normal

  • Zero downtime during working hours
