The aim of the project was to increase the organisation's processing power and data storage capability as well as reduce energy consumption by 20% through the implementation of a resilient and high availability virtualised infrastructure.
This video outlines how Nexus consultants and engineers, with assistance from Dell UK implemented a Dell EqualLogic storage area network (SAN) and virtualised computing environment using Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and VMware VSphere software.
