BUSINESS NEED

Initially, the client had an issue with the connection of their VMWare infrastructure with the HP 3Par storage, where, from HP support, they recommended updating the software to solve the problem.

“Specifically, it was a matter of keeping the environments up to date, due to updates, and using the new features and tools of the new versions. There were many improvements in the tool that we wanted to take advantage of to have better functioning of the infrastructure.”

We updated the VMWare connection plugin with HP 3Par, and additionally, we also updated the VMWARE hosts, as well as VCenter and SRM to version 6.0. With the resolution of the first issue, we were able to schedule the update of the entire infrastructure in advance. The client extended VMWARE support, which allowed recovering the ESXi from a host that had a serious software issue.

WHY DID THEY CHOOSE TUX?

“We had already been working with them, with some quite complex storage issues. We chose them again because of the willingness they showed and the way they work, which seemed correct to us, as well as the service they provide; and that’s why we decided to go with Tux’s service to carry out the upgrade.”

WHAT MEASURABLE BENEFITS DID VMWARE BRING?

“The benefit was to improve everything related to backups, and at the same time, we obtained the update of the tool. The infrastructure required an update, providing new advantages, and from that moment we were able to use both tools. The way of making backups, vemotions, replications with storage, all the advantages of the latest tools.”
