A prominent global manufacturer, facing challenges with the efficiency of its widely distributed manufacturing facilities due to an outdated data centre, sought a data centre refresh. The seamless transition from its current data centre to a new VMware on the Nutanix platform was identified as a critical priority to enhance operational capabilities across its global network of plants.

Aspire implemented ESXi hypervisor clusters, VMware vCenter, and the Nutanix AOS Acropolis Operating System, incorporating hardware alerting and remote console access. Additionally, remote management was established at both primary and disaster recovery sites, comprehensive environment documentation was provided to facilitate deployment, replication was configured, and distributed storage and encryption were set up to ensure a robust and secure infrastructure.

Our client encountered obstacles in conducting thorough network performance monitoring, which entails analysing log traffic, assessing traffic patterns across various OSI layers, implementing efficient data filtering techniques, and effectively detecting potential cyber-attacks to bolster cybersecurity measures.

We deployed Elastic Stack Vectra for in-depth log traffic analysis and network performance monitoring in our project. We efficiently detected and neutralised potential cyber threats by utilising its features to analyse traffic patterns across OSI layers and apply advanced data filtration methods. This proactive approach significantly improved our client's network security resilience and operational reliability. The technologies used were Elastic and Vectra.

The migration project was driven by several key challenges faced by the customer. The initial challenge was the Complexity of Existing Processes.The current SSIS processes were intricate and convoluted, resulting in difficulties with maintenance and scalability. The second challenge was Integration Limitations. The existing system struggled to integrate with modern cloud-based applications, which hindered data accessibility and usability across the organization.The third challenge was regarding Skill Gaps. The internal team lacked the specialized skills and expertise required for a seamless migration to IICS, which posed potential risks and delays in project execution.

To effectively address these challenges, a proactive and structured migration approach was devised, encompassing the following key phases: Discovery: Conducted an in-depth analysis of the existing processes to identify critical connections, tasks, steps, and workflows. Design: Developed an enhanced workflow blueprint inIICS to align with the customer's specified requirements, ensuring optimal performance and scalability. Documentation Development: Key references such as Job names, SSIS names, and SSIS Sub package names were meticulously documented to ensure clarity and facilitate future reference. Training: Organized knowledge transfer sessions to empower the internal team with essential skills and insights, thus reducing reliance on external consultants for ongoing modifications. Implementation: Conducted thorough testing of workflows in IICS before the official handoff to the customer, ensuring functionality and performance. The customer performed workflow audits and testing in tandem with development milestones, enabling prompt feedback and necessary adjustments.
