Industry Solutions aimed at matching the needs of the maximum automation of important business processes.
Business Objectives
- Effective usage of all available IT assets and maximum utilization of equipment.
- Ability to easily and rapidly scale business with minimum capital and operating costs for each IT asset; no cost for scaling with increasing number of business applications.
- Security and continuity of business processes.
- Mobility of employees, fast and secure access to any system and business-critical information, regardless of employee location and device from which access is required.
- Increase productivity and availability of the company's employees; minimize time required to resolve IT incidents.
- Reduce time period of upgrading IT systems, reduce capital and operating costs of renovation.
Solution Description
Cisco Nexus 7000/9000
Switch virtualization to isolated contexts or instances for separation of network flows using VRF’s or Cisco VDC’s on Cisco Nexus 7000. Additional separation using VRF-lite of private vlan’s.
Cisco Nexus 1000v
Hypervisor-level virtual switch, with benefits of manageability and security as traditional hardware switches.
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
Compute resources virtualization of Data Center to fully isolated domains with assured compute resources for applications using Cisco UCS. Unified and centralized management system not dependent on server numbers and data center scale.
VMware ESXi è Microsoft Hyper-V
Application server virtualization using software components from VMware or Microsoft; application migration from physical servers to virtual instances at data center.
VMware Horizon View è XenDesktop
Implementation of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
Benefits
Network virtualization
- Application traffic isolation within the virtual container, strict regulation of interactions between containers, restricting access to data ensuring security.
- Ability to use a smaller number of network devices with increasing and changing structure of business processes, business units, company branches. New business unit requires an additional network container, not new hardware.
- Resiliency: isolation of possible failures and security threats within virtual container without affecting other network parts.
- Cisco Nexus 1000v can significantly improve network security, increase control over applications and users to separate virtual machine and individual business applications in a virtual environment.
Compute resources virtualization
- Compute power isolation within a domain allows deterministic and predictable allocationof resources to applications, divisions, branches. Lack of oversubscription and underutilization, maximum server load efficiency, relation to financial expenses.
- Application security within the compute domain, isolation of potential failures.
- Efficient business scale with absence of significant costs, while maintaining centralized control; quick compute system reconfiguration in case of changes in business processes, departments, branches.
- Efficient management of unlimited number of servers, using configuration templates. Ability to integrate high-level business logic applications and organization process automation/optimization systemswith hardware configuration of the server resources using the software API.
- Integrated high-speed transport based on 10Gbps converged network for efficient management of network components, network virtualization and all its corresponding benefits. Significantly reducing cost of network transport to applications, using power of the computer system.
Application server virtualization
- Efficient usage of compute and network resources, centralized management, fault-tolerant and disaster-sustainability of business-critical data.
Desktop virtualization
- Optimized cost of ownership, costs of maintenance, administration and management of the user's environment. Reduced costs related to workforcecomputer upgrades, dueto user work environment using resources of data center and does not require hardware power of user devices.
- Increased mobility and accessibility of employees, as well as business data to users. Employees can work anywhere with the access to Internet. Increased employee productivity: allows them to work remotely from any device - workforce are available 24 hours a day and have possibilitygain access to their virtualized environment to fulfill the duties and urgent orders.
- Major safety increases. ‘Golden’ image of the user's workstation environment easier to control, manage, defend against malicious code, investigate security incidents.
- Effective business and branches scaling. Possibility toprovide employee compute resources with minimal capital costs of user devices. This just requires deploying the necessary number of virtual machines in the data center.
- Increased employee satisfaction and comfort from work; lack of a large number of applications to support for service-desk and relatedmalfunction of IT systems. Reorientation of support staff in the business-oriented IT model.
- Disaster resiliency and fault tolerance at appropriate level of data center resources for VDI. No loss of business-critical data with proper backup systems.
- Ensuring regulatory compliance. Network virtualization, computing resources virtualization and VDI allows to fully comply with the requirements of security and personal data regulators.
