For this case study, you will review a scenario for a small media company, its organization profile and its current infrastructure and the key challenges the media company faces and then discuss a solution for key challenges in the current environment.
Organization Profile and Current Infrastructure
A media company broadcasts 8 TV channels globally. All of its data is stored on high-end intelligent storage array and host to storage connectivity is over FC SAN. There are 200 servers in the data center and 30 Heterogeneous storage arrays. Entire infrastructure is highly redundant. Storage traffic moves over FC SAN and management moves over IP network. Due to large number of servers and storage, cabling has become very complex and difficult to manage. Data center is running out of space and cannot accommodate more servers. Company performs data migration regularly among heterogeneous arrays which causes downtime and is unacceptable. The entire infrastructure is currently managed by multiple management tools and is inefficient. They have also been under a crunch since they have to respond to data retention laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
Key Challenges
- FC and IP networks for separate traffic made cabling complex.
- Content Addressed Storage needs to be considered
- No space in data center to add more servers and management cost also is very high.
- Data migration is disruptive and causes downtime.
- Management is very difficult as multiple tools are used for management
Proposed Solution
Discuss the solution that will resolve the key challenges in the current environment. There is no constraint on the budget so you can recommend to buy tools and equipment to improve the structure of current environment. Also, be sure to address the advantages and disadvantages to using CAS systems as part of your discussion to help alleviate some of the issues.
