Karavel-Promovacances consolidates and optimizes the qualit service

tude of case – As a remdier the htrognit of his systmes, the tour operator has consolid on a single bay SAN Fibre Chanel, SAN iSCSI and NAS. This solution enables him to doffrir diffrents levels of service, via classes of storage.

Karavel-Promovacances, producer and distributor of voyages, fdre dsormais, with the wire of acquisitions, six marks on Internet. The systme D `information reflte these successive oprations of external growth, D `as much as repurchases N `do not have T immdiatement followed by a vast building site of rurbanisation of the infrastructure.

In a sector of tourism caractris by margins rduites, management by the cots is sometimes drastic, and the always welcome conomies. The htrognit of the systmes, which has consquences in terms D `administration, D `incidental and of nergtic consumption, adds to the needs for continuit D `activit, dbouchent in 2007, then 2008 on projects of rorganisation.

7 To of discs SATA additions 7 To of discs Fibre Chanel

a first SAN, ddi a critical application, is dploy in 2007. In April 2008, a building site S `opens for a deuxime ENV. This one owes tre rattach the whole of the Karavel-Promovacances waiters, and in particular the virtual machines VMware, of growing number (150 waiters term). But another merge need.

« The preliminary draft prvoyait the setting in production D `one. But it appeared that we could galement consolidate our file servers disperss on several Paris sites and in rgions and, until-L, administrs sparment. The premire proposal of LED-EMC comprised a bay SAN and, for the service of files, a tte NAS spare » , dtaille Guillaume Postaire, responsible infrastructure of the tour operator.

the consolidation will be finally still accentuates grce the adoption D `a solution unifying storage. In a single bay (Celerra NS482-F), Karavel-Promovacances thus will gather SAN FC, SAN iSCSI and NAS. An architecture, galement compatible FCoE (Fibre Chanel over Ethernet), which enables him to concentrate in a single point storage, to simplify the administration while offering diffrents levels of service, via classes of storage (tiering).

No hard drives SSD

« The bay intgre several types of discs with performance levels diffrents: 7 To of discs, for the filing or the storage of the mdias. Another third of 7 To, for the most critical volumes and more sollicits, includes/understands to him discs in 300 and 140 Go » explain Guillaume Postaire.

« The tiering has T dfini upstream SANATORIA project. We N `did not set up of solution of for dplacer steals it the files. The transfer, for example of stocks volumes on discs FC towards supports SATA, is done manually.

Mrs. if bay EMC supports them, Karavel-Promovacances N `did not retain this option, for questions of cots and non-adquation with its needs. No application of the tour operator ncessite this day capacits in terms of power and latency offered by the SSD.
