In our recent project, we faced the challenge of supporting the Client's Disaster Recovery Testing initiative for their IBM Storwize V5030 system. The task involved implementing a new IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre production environment while repurposing the old V5030 as a replication target. Our main challenge was to ensure seamless synchronisation between the V5030E (source) and V5030 (target) systems and conduct a simulated disaster recovery scenario to validate functionality.

To address the challenge, we meticulously implemented the new technology IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre. We established a robust plan to synchronise data between the V5030E and V5030 systems, ensuring data integrity and continuity. Rigorous testing procedures were implemented to simulate a disaster recovery scenario, guaranteeing that the systems could seamlessly switch over in case of an actual emergency. Our team monitored the process to mitigate risks and ensure a successful transition.

An outdated data centre with end-of-life hardware required a comprehensive modernisation initiative to enhance efficiency and performance.

We executed a seamless migration process by utilising Dell servers, VMware ESXi Hypervisor, and vCenter controller. This involved setting up the new infrastructure alongside the legacy equipment, deploying ESXi and vCenter on the latest hardware, transferring existing VMs from the old environment to the new one, configuring the networking settings, transitioning the new system online, and successfully switching over from the old production setup to the latest production environment.

Because of the lack of sufficient security visibility, our clients in the retail sector are susceptible to various vulnerabilities, such as malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. This lack of insight into their security posture significantly increases the risks they encounter, jeopardising their operations and customer data.

By implementing VMware Carbon Black's Endpoint Security Platform, our organisation gained advanced visibility, proactive threat detection capabilities, and robust threat prevention mechanisms against malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. This initiative significantly fortified our security posture, strategically reinforcing our defence against cyber threats and safeguarding our critical assets and data.
