JSC Mosvodokanal (Citrix NetScaler)

The I-Teco company announces project completion on sozdaniyuraspredelenny a data processing center dlyaoao Mosvodokanal. For five a mesyatsevn two capital platforms of data center the complex of program technical means for deployment of failsafe infrastructure was completely created.

At the moment the approach to creation, most widespread in the industry, of the distributed DPCs is the classical scheme, prikotory one of its platforms becomes active, and another is used for reservation, often standing idle or carrying out only a limited circle of tasks. Fundamental difference of the solution implemented in Mosvodokanal – use of both platforms which at the logic level represent the uniform geographically distributed data center.

"At project implementation by the customer the task as much as possible to save earlier made investments into the program and hardware systems was set. The approach applied by us gives the chance most effectively to use all available resources for receiving the maximum return, – Oleg Tolkachev, the director of business development of I-Teco company notes. – We managed to enter in the projectible solution all already existing complexes laconically. For example, Oracle Exadata IBM System P were also transferred to a HSS to the disaster-proof mode iseychas effectively infrastructures of the distributed DPC function in ramkakhobnovlenny".

According to the results of the competition organized by Mosvodokanal the right to execution of works was received by the leading Russian system integrator "I-Teco". Specialists of the company conducted preproject examination of infrastructure of the organization during which work of information systems and business services is analyzed and also requirements to availability of IT systems are defined.

In rezultateeksperta of I-Teco designed and implemented a complex based on products of EMC and Cisco companies which part were:

• The EMC VPLEX platform for virtualization of storage systems and ensuring simultaneous access to information from both platforms of DPC.
• Multilevel modular disk DWH of EMC VNX.
• Solutions EMC DataDomain and EMC AVAMAR for consolidation of backup and recovery of information.
• The modular Cisco switches Nexus and the Cisco UCS servers for increase in flexibility and scalability of IT infrastructure.

By means of a HSS of Citrix NetScaler the mechanism of uniform distribution of the user connections was implemented, and access to services is provided both through corporate network, and on the Internet. In case of failure of an element or failure of one of DPC platforms of connection are automatically redirected to available service.

Upgrade of earlier unrolled complexes, including creation of a core of a backup system and recovery on the basis of the existing and new equipment is carried out. It will allow Mosvodokanal to consolidate storage of backup copies of data on all objects.

"On start of the project the question of lease of server capacities and outsourcing of a chastnogooblak was considered. Odnakootsenkastoimosti of an igibkost taking into account rational use of the inherited infrastructure showed that costs for outsourcing in four years block the cost of creation of own distributed DPC for benefit of which choice was made. Works were carried out on "live" infrastructure that required thorough planning of procedures of service migration in new data center and studies of an organizational component with vsemipodrazdeleniye of Mosvodokanal. Professional approach of a command of I-Teco and dense interaction with departments of maintenance of IT infrastructure of our organizatsiidala to vozmozhnostyizbezhat failures at all stages, – Leonid Golovin, the deputy chief engineer of JSC Mosvodokanal comments. – I-Teco proved as the reliable partner capable with success to execute slozhnyeit-projects. As for the near-term outlook, now engineers of the company will provide services of service support. For achievement of the maximum effect of capacity utilization of DPC implementation of technologies of virtualization of jobs of users is planned". The unrolled complex provided resistance of business processes of Mosvodokanal to natural and technogenic catastrophes on data center platforms, significantly to the snizivriski of idle time. In addition, high availability of process control systems which allows nepreryvnoosushchestvlyat supervisory control is guaranteed and to increase reagirovaniyapra speed to threat of occurrence of extreme situations. Now IT infrastructure of the customer is completely ready to implementation of new technologies for the solution perspektivnykhzadach.
