SUDOP PRAHA modernizes its IT infrastructure: Faster data transfer and improved document availability

Communication solutions
Network

We have had a very positive experience with both NetApp disk arrays and the support provided by Soitron colleagues over the long term. They are reliable, fast, and as far as maintenance is concerned, we could basically forget that we have them.

Background

SUDOP PRAHA a. s. as a design, consulting and engineering company works with vast numbers of documents. To store and manage them, they require sufficient storage capacity provided by disk arrays. As the existing solution no longer met their needs, the company decided to invite tenders. Through this process, they sought a reliable IT partner to oversee the renewal of their disk arrays and expand their capacity. With our extensive experience we won the tender and took responsibility for the project.

Project implementation process

At the beginning of the project, we mapped the existing configuration of the disk arrays. This was followed by an analysis of the necessary next steps. We reviewed all the details and proposed the best possible solution. As part of the project, we created a separate backup link between the server rooms to ensure higher reliability. We connected the disk arrays to two server rooms to achieve redundancy. This means that if one server were to fail, the data would still be available from the other location, enhancing the system security.

Next, we integrated the arrays into the network infrastructure and, in collaboration with the NetApp technology distributor, configured the solution in line with the customer’s requirements. The result was upgraded disk arrays with new functionalities, expanded capacity, and fivefold increase in data transfer speed.
