Who:
Sempra Energy
101 Ash St., HQ01A
San Diego, CA 92101-3017
When: November 2008
What: Client needed to lower data center costs and, at the same time, provide additional capacity for future growth.
The Challenge: The client's existing data center location had several constraints limiting capacity. Additionally, while many servers were virtual, additional servers still required conversion to virtual systems. The development culture was also skeptical of how virtualization would impact their systems.
The Solution: Created a strategy and implementation plan based on an analysis of existing systems. Presented plan and obtained buy-in from stakeholders. Upgraded host hardware and virtual software solution. Delivered solution without any unscheduled service disruption.
The Result: Expanded data center capacity 32% creating virtual machine to host ratios ranging from 4:1 to 15:11. Additional capacity enabled the company to continue to use data center at the current growth rate for an additional ten years before outgrowing facility.
