"Aircraft engine": virtualization of storage area networks

At the Aviadvigatel enterprise the project directed to reduction of risk of loss of business and critical data and reducing costs of IT infrastructure due to virtualization of storage area networks is complete. The project was implemented by Croc company.

According to Sergey Bormalev, directors of information technology of Aviadvigatel, Aviadvigatel and Permsky motorny zavod company are included into Perm Motors Group, the enterprises are integrated by complex disaster-proof computing infrastructure, but at the same time storage systems existed separately. It increased the recovery time of systems in case of refusal in work. Project implementation on their virtualization allowed to guarantee stability of the general information infrastructure in case of failure of any storage system.

The project was implemented in two months. As the virtualization device the hardware and software system IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) is used. At the first stage of the project design and testing of the solution was executed. The stand repeating an enterprise architecture that allowed to check functionality necessary for the client on real tasks is constructed.
