Have you ever heard about IBM PureSystems?, here why this solution has been adopted by Alelo.
In our commitment,
Connectikpeople.co is there to help you as IT managers; IT decisions makers; organizations
and more to make informed and efficient decisions. In this momentum, we are
proud to share this case and to talk about IBM PureSystems. Launched in April
2012, about 8,000 users from 100 countries have selected IBM PureSystems.
The IBM PureSystems family offers an alternative to current enterprise
computing models, where multiple and disparate systems require significant
resources to set up and maintain.
Connectikpeople.co recalls that, the PureFlex
System enables organizations to more efficiently create and manage an
infrastructure. PureApplication
Systems help organizations reduce the cost and complexity of rapidly deploying
and managing applications. PureData
Systems are tuned for cloud computing and can consolidate more than 100
databases on a single system and the combination of both PureData and
PureApplication Systems can be used for end to end
transaction workloads.
Based on this reality Alelo Brasil, a Brazilian provider of pre-paid credit
and benefit cards, has deployed a solution based on PureSystems that will
upgrade and simplify their IT infrastructure at mirrored sites in Sao Paulo and
Rio de Janeiro.
Alelo had an existing data center of more than 90 servers and needed to
move to a more virtualized infrastructure that could support operations growth
while ensuring the organization’s high standard of service quality for its
customers. Henceforth, working with IBM, Alelo chose to deploy PureSystems
running a hybrid Power and x86 environment that would keep the databases on a
virtualized UNIX platform and workload applications on x86 platforms. This
environment would allow Alelo to consolidate and simplify its server footprint,
reduce spending on software license and expand system availability and
performance. The project also included a mirrored system in a second site,
located 600km away from the main data center, helping ensure high availability
and business continuity.
The benefits
of the project are: the consolidating the data
center, reduction in power consumption and heat emission; the reduction in the
number of processors ; savings in software licenses and less spend in hardware
and software maintenance and high performance with fewer resources.
