Main Goal
The team aimed to reconstruct and update the servers’ architecture while planning optimal solutions, supervising installation, configuring systems, and migrating virtual machines with post-implementation support.
The Course of the Project
- Firmware Updates: Upgrading and configuring server firmware to current standards
- Virtualisation Setup: Installing and configuring the latest stable virtualisation system version
- Network Reconfiguration: Updating existing network infrastructure for improved performance
- Virtual Machine Migration: Transferring VMs to the new environment
- Storage Configuration: Installing, updating, and configuring storage arrays
- High Availability: Establishing redundancy and fault tolerance mechanisms
Effect
The infrastructure upgrade significantly boosted system performance while ensuring redundancy. By expanding uplink capacity to 40 Gbit/s in the network backbone, leveraging Dell switches, the team enhanced service availability and reliability.
