Project Tasks
The specifics of activity of "Rosinzhiniringa" show strict requirements to all organizational divisions of the company:
- work quickly,
- it is flexible to adapt to new tasks in the shortest possible time and with the minimum costs,
- provide the highest quality of works, irrespective of conditions.
"The professional needs the reliable tool which would allow to perform qualitatively the work and that for the employee the tool as its working environment" — Vladimir Lebedinsky, the director of information technology of Rosinzhiniring company said.
For support of service of virtualization of desktops (VDI) of "Rosinzhiniring" used storage systems of the EVA HP family. Over time amounts of data increased, the number of users increased and also requirements to performance, reliability and scalability raised. Implementation of VDI promoted consolidation of resources that as a result led to bigger utilization of disk space. In 2014 resources of the available arrays of storage systems of the middle class were completely exhausted, and the recommended lives of the majority of storage systems came to an end that could lead to avalanche failure of hard drives, risks of data loss grew. The company made the decision on transition to more powerful and modern technologies.

Due to deep preliminary study process of implementation and transition to the new platform took place quickly and without problems.
Project Results
