Challenges


  • The successful Sky Lakes data center infrastructure refresh to Cisco HyperFlex, a hyperconverged compute, storage, and networking system, reduced the costs and operational burdens of three different solutions and vendor contracts for the lean IS team. So as the renewal of Sky Lakes™ aging Commvault backup product neared, IS staff was interested in guidance from both CDW and Cisco as it evaluated new backup and data management approaches that were easier to use and would drive further efficiencies. The goal was to give engineers greater bandwidth to proactively fulfill all of the requests coming in daily. 
  • After Cisco’s recommendation and seeing it perform, Sky Lakes purchased and quickly set up Cohesity to manage backup and unstructured data while continuing to use Cisco HyperFlex for primary (latency-sensitive) data on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers with Cisco Intersight as the single management user interface for both. Sky Lakes was among the first to test and deploy the validated Cisco-Cohesity 40G design.
