The ChallengeShelco had a number of servers reaching the end of their lifecycle. In

today’s environment it was imperative for Shelco to find a cost effective way

to improve the end user’s experience with Shelco systems. Rather than

replace hardware, Shelco was looking to virtualize on a SAN.

The SolutionAT-NET Services, Inc. installed a server virtualization solution utilizing Cisco

UCS Servers, VMware, and a NetApp Storage Area Network (SAN). The

virtual server solution included: physically staging the servers and SAN;

configuration of the local network, servers, and SAN; virtualizing seven

servers, configuring backups, and performing administrative training.

The Impact“The completed project has enabled Shelco to replace our aging physical

servers with virtual machines. SAN performance has improved our end user

experience and provided an enhanced capability for backup and disaster

recovery planning. Our interaction with the AT-NET team was outstanding.

They did an outstanding job of understanding our needs and tailoring the

initial proposal to win the job.

Once on the project, AT-NET did great work in understanding our goals for

implementation and coordinating AT-NET resources to complete the project

in a way that exceeded our expectations by finishing the task on time and

on budget. We would use AT-NET Services for future projects & enthusiasti-

cally recommend the team as a partner for other companies.

It’s one thing to parrot “best practices” recommended by hardware vendors

without regard to cost. It’s another to help your customer understand the

choices available to solve a problem with a cost-effective analysis of needs

and wants. The AT-NET team did an excellent job of listening to our

concerns and addressing them completely.”
