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 filespiece a heavy burden on the
distribution system. and this has prompted the company to consider a virtualserver
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 storage using 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 efficiency above 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 .
Multiple solutions, prioritized with a recommendation
