Countries and Regions Canada English mbm foodservice distribution French Emerging Countries France Réseaux Data Center Green IT IPv6 Collaboration Sécurité Smart Cities Germany Italy Italia PartnerIT Cloud is driving unprecedented levels of data growth and demanding strong interdependency between the server, network, and storage environments. mbm foodservice distribution Customers like TOTVS agree that in order to properly consolidated and centralize cloud environments, organizations need improved, easy-to-manage Infrastructures, capable of cloud scale and performance.
TOTVS based in Brazil, is that country s market mbm foodservice distribution leader and the sixth largest software company in the world, supporting more than 26,000 customers in 23 countries. TOTVS SAN stores and switches 200 terabits of storage and is growing quickly as customers increasingly prefer to access and run applications mbm foodservice distribution in the cloud.
TOTVS main data center hosts applications that are used by clients, such as TOTVS ERP and Fluig, a platform that allows clients to manage processes, documents and identity through a single interface. Fluig integrates applications including business process management, mbm foodservice distribution enterprise content management, analytics, mail, social media, web content management, and Fluig s secure identity management solution.
Rapid growth is a certainty, Fernando mbm foodservice distribution says. As we upgrade mbm foodservice distribution our SAN infrastructure, we know that we ll need more scalability and flexibility than ever. When it was time to upgrade our SAN switches, mbm foodservice distribution our requirements were high performance, easy manageability, and the ability to eventually support Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel over Ethernet connections in the same switch. Fernando Faustino, TOTVS Data Center Director
After briefly evaluating other options, TOTVS chose to deploy dual redundant SAN fabrics based on Cisco MDS 9710 Multilayer Directors . The Cisco MDS 9710 systems are director-class SAN switches designed for deployment in large-scale storage networks to enable enterprise clouds. A comprehensive set of intelligent features on a high-performance, mbm foodservice distribution protocol-independent mbm foodservice distribution switch fabric meets TOTVS requirements for uncompromising high availability, scalability, and simplified integration of new technologies.
TOTVS chose Cisco MDS 9148 Multilayer Fabric Switches for its SAN edge . The Cisco MDS 9148 switches mbm foodservice distribution are optimized for performance while requiring minimal space. They include industry-leading SAN security to support compliance and regulatory requirements and are easy to deploy and provision. Once deployed, they require no training mbm foodservice distribution to operate.
TOTVS also uses Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager mbm foodservice distribution (DCNM). The Cisco DCNM dashboard can manage systems spanning the Cisco Nexus and Cisco MDS 9000 Families, regardless of protocol type such as Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Ethernet, IBM Fibre Connection(FICON), and Small Computer System over IP (iSCSI). As TOTVS moves toward migrating its network switches to the Cisco Nexus Switch family, Cisco DCNM will allow the team to manage LAN and SAN fabrics in a single dashboard.
TOTVS is consolidating and centralizing its SAN infrastructure, which has simplified cabling complexity and reduced cabling costs by 30 percent. Fewer cards and chassis require less power and cooling, which Faustino expects to see reflected in lower energy costs.
With Cisco DCNM, the IT SAN and LAN teams can share the same management interface with other Cisco data center switches. And in the future, they will also be able to manage high-performance Fibre Channel and FCoE connectivity across a unified fabric
Once we fully implemented, we will have more capabilities with great economy of scale, says Faustino. We can cost-effectively add servers to support a growing mbm foodservice distribution portfolio of services and an expanding customer base.
Key Highlights: Centralizing SAN infrastructure and reducing cabling costs by 30 percent Significantly scaling performance through high-density switch design Simplifying management mbm foodservice distribution across unified switch fabric
The Cisco MDS 9710 architecture provides 16-Gbps line-rate, nonblocking, predictable performance across all traffic conditions for every port in the chassis. High performance and scalability mbm foodservice distribution are sustained by redundancy on all major components, including the fabric card. Combined with nondisruptive software upgrades and stateful mbm foodservice distribution process restart and failover, the Cisco MDS 9710 is perfectly suited for TOTVS SAN core
The Cisco MDS 9710 helps us meet our scalability goals with its high-density mbm foodservice distribution design, says Faustino.
