Scenario:
Following the merger of two online entertainment companies, management is integrating the
two distinct service systems that were individually built and optimized prior to the acquisition.
Reducing IT costs is a majorgoal, but the company also wants a system infrastructure that
allows quick, flexible handling of the onlinecontent requests, and that is highly reliable and
has excellent expandability. The newly merged company is expanding its web-based music
entertainment services by establishing a mobile content business model and launching a
comprehensive community site that allows multiple consumers access to content in
collaboration with PCs and cell phones. The multiple consumer web service includes video
files. which occupy 90% or more of the total capacity and require an average of 400 Mbps
network bandwidth for content distribution. These files piece a heavy burden on the
distribution system. and this has prompted the company to consider a virtual server
environment. They need to achieve this without lowering service quality. Some of the
additional business criteria identified in customer planning interviews includes:
Twenty or more physical servers need to be integrate into just three units The storage
environment, previously structured as individual server units, requires shifting to shared
storageusing a Storage Area Network (SAN) Increase the overall system reliability by
consolidating the system environment. Not interested in direct-attached storage. Shared
storage makes it possible to increase usage efficiencyabove that offered by direct-attached
storage, and also adds a cost advantage.
Management of all storage, HBAs. and switches should be done from a GUI-based
dashboard .
