Your Server environment • Most Colleges have Dell and/or HP servers, both Tower and Rackmount, and possibly some Blade servers • Price was probably most important factor • Servers are aging; ongoing maintenance costs • Virtualized to some degree • Probably running 1GbE interconnect • Roundstone can help by: • Upgrading to converged infrastructure • Eliminate VMware costs • Increase interconnect to 10GbE
Your Storage environment • Have storage internal to servers, and storage array (iSCSI or FC block) • Price was probably most important factor • Storage is close to end of useful life; ongoing maintenance costs • Probably running 2-8 GB Fibre Channel or 1GbE iSCSI • Roundstone can help by: • Upgrading to converged infrastructure or hybrid storage; capacity and performance at lower cost • Eliminate storage management effort • Increase interconnect to 10GbE
Converged Infrastructure • Many colleges have deployed Hyper-Converged infrastructure thus far, but others haven’t, due to: • Lack of familiarity/training with technology • Vendors haven’t focused on Education market to date • Purchasing approaches have separated server and storage technologies • Colleges can benefit from this technology; it scales linearly-“Buy what you need when you need it” • Roundstone can help by: • Determining appropriateness of technology for district and designing solution • Deploy technology and train district
