About The Customer
One Source Networks (OSN) is a leading provider of innovative voice and Unified Communications services and Managed Network Services for the Fortune 1000. The company backs all its offerings with one contract, account team and invoice, providing the peace of mind and simplicity of working with a single provider. OSN was looking for a solution to power its new Microsoft Lync offering: Cloud Lync Enterprise. OSN standardized on SimpliVity to host core components of its new virtual Cloud Lync Enterprise solution running Microsoft applications, including Lync 2013.
The Challenge
One Source Networks (OSN) was developing multiple new services to meet the evolving needs of its global enterprise customers. When tasked with rolling out the company’s new Cloud Lync Enterprise offering, they decided to broaden their scope beyond traditional servers, SAN and storage architectures. The new infrastructure had to be world-class to support the robust Cloud Lync Enterprise service, while delivering operational improvements. OSN’s Cloud Lync Enterprise is a fully-managed, dedicated offering that provides organizations with the feature functionality and security of a premises-based Lync environment, with the global scale and cost efficiency of a hosted service.
The Solution
OSN deployed sixteen OmniCube CN-3000 systems in a Federation comprised of clustered pairs in Dallas, Chicago, LA, NY, London, Hong Kong and Bogota, with future sites to include Amsterdam and Sydney. The company has also deployed systems in a DevOps, Test/Dev lab in its Austin headquarters. Each Point-of-Presence (PoP) is now benefiting from increased compute and storage capacity, optimized performance, improved availability with faster backup/restore and cloning times, and new levels of agility. Each modular 2U OmniCube is simple to ship and deploy throughout OSN’s global network. Previous provisioning operations for “carving LUNs,” building SAN-storage, allocating servers, staging storage for VMware, generating backup/restore methods were also eliminated. SimpliVity delivers all the requisite services in one solution, below the hypervisor, to deploy Cloud Lync Enterprise instances running Microsoft Lync 2013, as well as other critical VM applications.
