CAT THIX needed to upgrade their server infrastructure to improve performance, availability, and efficiency. They consolidated 40 physical servers onto 4 Cisco UCS Blade servers, reducing costs for space, power, and cooling. The Cisco UCS solution improved management and allowed new systems to be provisioned faster.

Cisco Systems Data Center and Virtualization Unified Computing System
CAT THIX (Thailand Internet Gateway)
What we found to be the PRE-PROJECT ENVIRONMENT
Pre-Project Environment CAT THIX had over 40 physical servers and continuing growth demands. Existing servers are unable to achieve the desired workloads. Memory and I/O were constrained and used excessive power. The existing infrastructure was siloed between compute, network, and storage technologies
What we found to be the CHALLENGE
The Challenge Refresh the server infrastructure for increased availability and agility and improved cost-effective IT services. Consolidate existing physical rack- mounted servers to virtual server/virtual machines. Improve space and power utilization so as to postpone or prevent expensive new data center build- outs.
¡°AIT designed and implemented the Cisco Unified Computing System? (UCS).¡± What we found to be the SOLUTION
The Solution Consolidate the 40 rack- mount servers by converting them to virtual servers though the use of 4 UCS B200-M2 blade servers, providing significant infrastructure, space, power, and cooling savings.

What we found to be the BENEFITS & RETURN ON INVESTMENTS
Return on Investment Cost saving through easier maintenance Fewer infrastructure components to provision, monitor, maintain, power, cool, and repair. Enabled Management of the entire solution as a single entity through the Cisco UCS Manager. Improves IT productivity and business agility by reducing the time and complexity to provision new systems. New infrastructure can be provisioned in minutes instead of days.
