After a thorough review of the existing hardware, software, and configuration that the Department of Labour was currently utilising, Saras America designed a solution that would not only meet the current needs of the Department but would also build in an additional 60% capacity to accommodate expected near term growth within the Department. Additionally, the solution enabled the department to perform data replication between Washington DC, and Salt Lake City, Utah, something the pre-existing environment was not capable of. In fact, their pre-existing system utilised backup tapes, and in the event of an emergency, the expected RTO was 5-7 days and the RPO was 36 hours. With the solution provided by Saras America, the RTO is now less than 6 hours and the RPO is less than 12 hours. The hardware decided upon for the solution designed included the EMC CLARiiON CX4 model 120 and the Cisco MDS 9148 Multilayer Fabric switch to ensure that system uptime met or exceeded 99.999%. Saras America Inc. migrated 15TB of data from the LUNs in the existing EMC Clariion CX-300-disc array to the new LUNs designed for the CX4-120 array using SAN Copy. For the Salt Lake City disc array, Saras America designed an asynchronous data replication over the WAN using EMC Mirror View for the hosts in DC to be able to access their discs in case of a disaster, as well as creating new LUNs for the hosts in UT to be able to access the new disc array.
