Toshiba TEC Singapore Pte Ltd. designs, builds and services world-class turnkey ODM/OEM solutions for Fortune 500 companies worldwide and best in class small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the transport & logistics, retail, banking and healthcare industries.
In 2017 Toshiba approached Sangfor Technologies about virtualizing their traditional infrastructure of 15 servers and several Hyper-V VMs running in the data center. A majority of the internal applications were hosted by the physical servers and these servers had been running for over 5 years with occasional hardware failure issues. Because there was no HA for those physical servers and Hyper-V VMs, these failures were a huge issue – sometimes taking hours to recover from hardware failure.
Sangfor proposed their HCI solution to help Toshiba consolidate all the existing physical servers with only 2 units of 2U aServer appliances, dramatically simplifying daily O&M. With compute virtualization aSV and storage virtualization aSAN, Toshiba was able to migrate all the physical servers and Hyper-V virtual machines to the Sangfor HCI platform and ensure business reliability with high availability. Sangfor's HCI web-based management console simplifies all IT processes, providing unified single-pane-of-glass management over all the resources on HCI to simplify operations and reduce recovery time in the event of a failure.
Unlike traditional cloud solutions, Sangfor Enterprise Cloud built on HCI is simplified and flexible, enabling users to quickly build business-driven cloud computing data centers using private, hybrid or industrial cloud. Users benefit by using the IT resource pool, IT as a Service and automated IT O&M, making it easy for key business to migrate to the cloud.
