Successful HP SAN, VMware server virtualisation and Veeam backup project - Filofax UK
19 August 2011
System Professional has successfully installed a new HP SAN storage and VMware server virtualisation infrastructure at the Filofax UK Head Office in Burgess Hill, West Sussex.
Filofax is the original market leading personal organiser brand, with a reputation for providing products of distinctive quality, style and craftsmanship.
In 2001 the Letts Filofax Group was formed after Charles Letts and Company Limited acquired the Filofax Group. Today Filofax UK is responsible for the sales and marketing of the Filofax personal organiser ranges.
Adam Lewis, Group IT Manager at Filofax UK, met with System Professional to discuss his future IT strategy and ongoing IT support requirements. He explained that he needed to address storage challenges within the business, since they were using a Direct Attached Storage (DAS) model and he was keen to explore SAN technology options. Adam also wanted to reduce the number of physical servers and take advantage of the IT consolidation, high availability and DR benefits of VMware server virtualisation.
Following a VMware Capacity Planning exercise and series of technical design and planning workshops, System Professional implemented a leading HP SAN, VMware vSphere server virtualisation and Veeam backup and replication solution. Filofax UK also benefit from System Professional's comprehensive post-installation IT support and network monitoring service
Adam explained how "System Professional's approach to our Virtualisation requirement was exemplary. Their technical knowledge and professional advice was key to the successful project delivery. I see a long term partnership with Filofax and System Professional and I look forward to our next project."
