The Information Technology Stake - Mission Critical and More
The foundation for Intersect's infrastructure solution are IBM Bladecenter servers and storage running in a VMware environment on Microsoft technology. This combination provides high performance and fault tolerance in a cost-effective manner.
The Bladecenter's exclusive redundant power supplies and system I/O features makes this configuration fully redundant in an easy to manage setup. Advanced VMware features provide automatic load balancing and system failover to keep applications running in the event of a system issue or from planned downtime.
System Availability
System outages are inevitable. Some instances occur due to planned shutdowns for upgrades, maintenance and others such occurrences. System availability during a system outage - regardless of whether it is planned or unplanned - is unacceptable in a healthcare setting, particularly when patient records are involved. Imagine caregivers unable to access patient data when creating crucial treatment plans.
As such,VMware's Vmotion leverages the complete virtualization of servers, storage, and networking to move an entire running virtual machine instantaneously from one server to another. During a vMotion, the active memory and precise execution state of a virtual machine is rapidly transmitted over a high speed network from one physical server to another, and access to the virtual machines disk storage is instantly switched to the new physical host. Since the network is also virtualized by the VMware host, the virtual machine retains its network identity and connections, ensuring a seamless migration process.
The result is zero downtime, zero data loss and continuous availability in the face of server hardware failures for the entire system.
Rethink Traditional Disaster Recovery
Protecting applications against disaster has never been more important. Unfortunately, traditional disaster recovery solutions are too expensive and complicated to protect any but the most critical applications.
Vmware vCenter Site Recovery Manager enables you to expand protection to all your applications. The cost of disaster recovery is reduced by consolidating recovery infrastructure and using cost-efficient VSphere Replication.
Simplified System Management
The VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite provides all the capabilities necessary to achieve an integrated approach to performance, capacity and configuration across your entire infrastructure. Patented performance analytics unify data from all technology silos supporting intelligent alerting, proactive intervention and quick problem resolution. Capacity analytics allow IT to quickly identify over-provisioned VMs in order to right size infrastructure resources and avoid unnecessary capital expenditure. Configuration analytics detect unwanted changes, enabling IT to maintain continuous compliance with operational best practices and regulatory requirements.
The "Microsoft Advantage"
The Windows Server Family provides a solid foundation for all of your server workload and application requirements while being easy to deploy and manage. New virtualization tools, Web resources, management enhancements, and exciting Windows 7 integration help save time, reduce costs, and provide a platform for a dynamic and efficiently managed data center.
Microsoft SQL Server delivers an industry-proven information management platform that helps organizations harness the power of exploding data volumes. The range of database solutions cover high value, low TCO solutions for high-end transaction processing, massive data warehousing, and scalable business intelligence across software, appliances, and cloud offerings.
