Challenge
| MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company do Brazil (MSC Brazil) needed a new data center to support the company’s annual growth and saw the opportunity to build a new data center from scratch when it moved into its new Brazilian headquarters building. |
Solution
| The company chose its long-time partner Dell to design and build a data center with Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers using Intel® processor technology and virtualized with Citrix® XenServer™ and VMware® Infrastructure 3. Dell/EMC storage area networks (SANs) provide a robust data protection and disaster recovery (DR) solution with EMC® RecoverPoint software replicating data synchronously between primary and secondary sites. |
Benefits
| • Three-day move into new data center and DR facility • Thirty-minute creation of new servers for provisioning of new services or offices in 1 day vs. 45–60 days • Zero recovery point objective with synchronous replication of data • $150,000 savings in server costs by not buying proprietary servers • 50 percent of servers virtualized • 70 percent savings in power |
