Cisco and Intel Case Study: Technology Company Achieves RISC-to-Intel x86 Migration
CHALLENGES
• Existing server infrastructure was at capacity and end of life
• Poor performance hampered user productivity
• EMC had no clear path to cloud computing
SOLUTIONS
• Cisco Unified Computing System B440 powered by Intel® Xeon® processors
• Cisco Unified Computing Services
• Cisco Technical Services
EMC Corporation, the leading supplier of information infrastructure technology, relies on one of the world’s largest Oracle* E-Business Suite implementations for its global manufacturing, finance, quoting, customer service, professional services, sales, and marketing operations. The company’s customer relationship management (CRM) system supports 40,000 users with peak usage of more than 4,000 concurrent users. This business-critical system also delivers data to the company’s business intelligence and data warehousing infrastructure.
Approximately seven years ago, the Oracle E-Business Suite applications were deployed on a UNIX/RISC platform. In subsequent years, EMC’s business grew, and the number of transactions processed by these systems had risen exponentially. EMC anticipated continued growth, which requires an open, scalable, and agile compute infrastructure. The existing RISC systems were at the end of their service lives and could no longer support EMC’s required business service levels, in spite of numerous costly upgrades and optimization efforts.
