The HPE CloudSystem built on
ConvergedSystem 700x at AllTimeIT uses
HPE BL460 G8 servers running the Matrix
operating system and HP 3PAR StoreServ
storage. The cloud services are delivered
using both VMware vSphere and Microsoft®
Hyper-V platforms. AllTimeIT has ISO27001
certification for information security
management from the British Standards
Institute (BSI).
Six of the virtual machines are used to
run Eagle’s SAP Business One service
and the company also uses eiProtect,
which provides online backup over the
cloud with the option of replicating data to
a Disaster Recovery (DR) site. Eagle’s SAP
services are accessed across a leased line.
“I had considered many providers
and I found that eiProtect was quite
cost-eective,” says Dutta. “This was quite
new for me. We had to go somewhere that
we could trust.
“It was definitely important that AllTimeIT
uses reliable HPE servers and storage
because without our data we would not
survive. We spoke to many AllTimeIT clients
about the security of data. AllTimeIT also
gave me a presentation and I definitely felt
that their servers would be secure.”
With the backup, customers can choose to
opt for a high availability solution or not but
the backup is made in the main data centre
and always replicated to the second data
centre. In addition, it is also written to tape
which goes to a third location.”
Benefits
Data security and low latency
AllTimeIT met one of Eagle’s first aims by
providing the eiCloud service at a day’s
notice and it is currently supporting 40
concurrent SAP users.
“There has never been a problem with
the HPE servers at AllTimeIT and its
support sta are always ready to help on
every aspect,” says Dutta. “Another benefit is
that they always update to the latest
software and hardware.”
It is estimated that going for the cloud
option saved Eagle up to £5,000 (Lakh
5 Rupees) in set-up costs. eiCloud is
delivering 99.999 per cent availability
and high-performing HPE Gen8 servers
support very low latency, providing the
speed of service that Eagle sta need.
Also, scalability is not a problem.
