Challenge:
OpenStack Installation for Cloud Consolidation
Our company was approached by a customer seeking to consolidate multiple systems, including VMware, bare metal servers, and instances in a public cloud, into a self-hosted cloud on their premises. We recommended a solution based on OpenStack to address their needs.
Scope of Work:
To address the challenge, we conducted a thorough analysis of available cloud solutions and designed a self-hosted cloud solution based on OpenStack. The project involved the following steps:
- Installation of racks, servers, and network switches.
- Configuration and installation of the OpenStack system.
- Conducting stress and failure tests to ensure system reliability.
- Providing training for on-board staff.
Tools and Technologies Used:
The project utilized OpenStack, Cisco and Brocade 10 Gigabit switches, Cacti, and Zabbix to ensure the successful deployment of the self-hosted cloud solution.
Achievements:
Through the use of OpenStack, we were able to deliver a self-hosted cloud solution that ensured our customer’s security and business continuity by keeping the core of the business under their full control. The solution resulted in a reduction in total costs and optimized network quality for improved performance.
Overall, this project allowed us to demonstrate our expertise in cloud solutions, as well as our ability to provide a solution that met our customer’s specific needs and requirements.
