An internationally recognized B2B management solutions company that provides e-commerce value through their products and solutions that involve efficient management in back-office B2B environments, greater levels of visibility, automation and ultimately profitability. The company has been in contact with us since the start of 2020, looking to further progress and refresh their outdated server. During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to further discuss and understand their main refreshment of hardware requirements for use.
The company was operating on VMware ESX for server virtualisation for
their production and operations. Their hardware was becoming outdated relative to their software, as the
updated version of the ESX 6.7. With their past hardware being from Dell, the tier 1 could not offer
what the company needed in terms of hardware and infrastructure compatible with their software
requirements.
They required a solution that was highly compatible with their updated software for VMware ESX with
specific performance requirements, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We provided a Supermicro 4U Dual Socket server fitted with Intel Xeon Scalable Gold 5220R processors and 756GB RAM, compatible with NVMe and SSD for virtualisation applications. This solution was recommended as a solution for the company as it was fully compatible with the company’s VMware ESX hardware requirements to optimally provide virtualisation with the latest technologies, compared to tier 1 providers being incompatible with their environment. Furthermore, upon this hardware solution, we were able to provide a further 5-year NBD on-site support to the company as an ease-of-mind service for any unforeseen circumstances.
We optimised a performance-based high capacity storage server that satisfied their VMware ESX environment and hardware requirements above all else. During this COVID-19 period, many companies were busy trying to operate under these circumstances. At DiGiCOR, we looked to continuously provide our high-quality services and expertise in assisting our clients such as this company. In this case, we were able to deliver our solution within one month, with the help of our quick lead and response time through our communication with the company. This allowed us to positively contribute towards their infrastructure uptime.
