Challenge
The problem
The client was operating end-of-life server hardware across several disconnected server rooms with no formal backup verification and no disaster recovery capability.
Solution
What we built
We consolidated the estate onto a hyperconverged infrastructure platform, redesigned the backup architecture around verified recovery points, and stood up a tested disaster recovery environment.
Implementation
How it was delivered
- Workload discovery and dependency mapping across legacy server rooms
- HCI cluster design sized to current and projected workload demand
- Phased virtual machine migration with validation at each stage
- Backup and disaster recovery testing against defined recovery objectives
Results
Outcome
- Reduced physical footprint through server consolidation
- Verified, testable backup and recovery process
- Simplified ongoing infrastructure management
