Q Associates are familiar with our storage and backup environment, have unrivalled technology knowhow and an impressive grasp of the commercial considerations involved. Their detailed evaluation enabled us move forward with a decision to initiate a new clustered NAS infrastructure that would strengthen our environment and optimise storage utilisation.
Q Associates negotiated hard on our behalf with NetApp, securing a discount that ensured the commercial ROI figures worked. Their migration plan was designed to ensure 24/7 operations were uninterrupted and that legacy issues around DR were addressed.
Storage systems play a mission critical role in assuring and enhancing the resilience of our infrastructure. But finding the right converged platform capable of handling a variety of mixed workloads in both virtualised and nonvirtualised environments was just part of the challenge. We also needed a partner to support the entire environment and ensure it’s optimised for performance – no matter what challenges we throw at it.
Q Associates proved to be highly responsive. They talked us through a range of scenarios, clearly evaluating the strengths of each approach. Having finalised on FAS8040 high availability system, Q Associates were able to negotiate a great commercial deal on our behalf.
We knew that we’d be moving to a new data center, so finding a high-density solution was key. We realized that moving to a converged infrastructure could deliver the high degree of flexibility and efficiency that we required for present and future college developments.
Together, we were able to migrate 120 virtual servers to the Lenovo platform with just four minutes of downtime over a weekend. The migration went very smoothly, and support from Q Associates has been fantastic throughout the process.
