National Open University (NOU), Taiwan has commissioned Dimension Data to design and implement a virtualized data centre solution that will enable the university to meet its energy-saving targets. The new Vblock solution will allow NOU to scale quickly in meeting the demands of its growing student population.
 
"Our IT infrastructure consisted of an ageing server and an EMC CX700 that was approaching the end of its service life," said Evan Chen, IT Manager, National Open University, Taiwan. "Both were hampering our ability to move forward with new initiatives like virtualisation. As an organisation that depends on the Internet to deliver many of our services, we decided to take stock of our infrastructure needs with a view to harnessing the latest virtualisation technology to allow us to grow our services."
The Vblock proposal consists of a Cisco Unified Computing System server, EMC unified storage CLARiiON and VMware vSphere platform. Consultancy services from Dimension Data rounds out the solution, which includes designing an entirely new virtual infrastructure and integrating this new architecture into the existing IT environment.
