Southern California Edison
The client is the primary electricity supply company for much of Southern California and the largest subsidiary of Edison International. It provides 15 million people with electricity across a service territory of approximately 50,000 square miles.
The client needed a Senior Cloud Consultant’s Services to design and implement multiple Secure Multitenant Flexpod Datacenter infrastructures and provide architectural guidance. As a Senior Cloud Consultant, EES’s responsibilities included installing, configuring, deploying, and maintaining converged infrastructure deployments.
Due to our expertise in Cloud Infrastructure Design, Cloud Infrastructure Implementation, Security Infrastructure Design, Core Routing Infrastructure Design, Virtualization Infrastructure Design, Compute Infrastructure Design, Storage Infrastructure Design, and Software Defined Network Design – the client chose EES to be their Cloud Consultant. Our firm designed and implemented converged infrastructures in the client’s network.
Solution
Our architects designed and implemented a state-of-the-art converged network and compute data center infrastructure. The services we implemented include:
Designing and implementing multiple Secure Multitenant Flexpod Datacenter infrastructures.
Developing and implementing a migration plan for Physical-to-Physical (P2P) and Physical Virtual (P2V) migrations from HP G6 and G7 blades to Cisco UCS B-Series blades.
Developing automation scripts to speed up the migration efforts and eliminate operator error during the P2P and P2V migrations.
Installing and Configuring Cisco Nexus 7000, Cisco Nexus 5500 and Cisco Nexus 2200.
Configuring and installing Cisco UCS Director to automate network device configurations and Netapp Controller configuration.
Configuring and maintaining Cisco Intelligent Automation for the Cloud (CIAC) to manage diverse Cloud infrastructures.
Deploying VMWare VCenter to manage multiple ESX hosts spanning various data centers.
Our team at EES designed, developed and deployed new converged infrastructure. We used iterative planning to discuss and prepare how to meet the client's demands best.
Here at EES, we've found that using the Agile approach for our team meetings has improved our responsiveness to client feedback and allowed us to accommodate evolving standards.
Results
EES developed, designed, and implemented new converged infrastructure for the client and provides ongoing support and consultation on the design’s overall architecture. While the converged infrastructures were being implemented, EES was a reliable technological partner. In the years after the new system’s launch, EES remained a reliable source of operational support.
The customer was able to reduce IT costs and increase scalability and revenue thanks to our Datacenter networking architectural services.
