Business Pain-Points
Astoria Wines required an upgrade of its existing VMware-based infrastructure to run more effectively. Additionally, the company needed enhanced disaster recovery capabilities to ensure adequate data protection.
The winery sought improved performance of its virtual machine infrastructure as the existing hardware was outdated – given that the enhancements made were reasonably priced.
Finally, Astoria Wines insisted that the migration of systems be mostly risk-free and done as fast as possible.
Sangfor Solution
Sangfor proposed the use of the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) node cluster set for high reliability, while an additional node was set to provide disaster recovery functions. This provided Astoria Wines with a scalable solution in the event of future expansions of the business.
Sangfor’s infrastructure complements the company’s existing system with the added advantage of scheduling data migration without any risk of downtime and being able to divide the workloads of related services.
The built-in disaster recovery features offered an additional destination for secure and reliable backups without the need for extra licenses and gave the winery the option of backing up VMs from its existing VMware environment which allowed it to turn on the VM directly from the backup destination instantly – helping to restore business operations even in the event of a disaster.
Finally, Astoria Wines relied on Sangfor’s efficiency range to ensure that the entire migration was smoothly run and cost-effective.
End-User Experience
Astoria Wines made an excellent choice in referring to Sangfor for their IT infrastructure needs and can now focus on distilling the best products without the worry of an inadequate infrastructure system.
