关于客户
Merlin Entertainments is the largest European-based entertainment company, operating 110 attractions in 23 countries across four continents. The company’s resort theme parks and midway attractions include world-renowned brands such as LEGOLAND® resorts, Madame Tussauds, and SEA LIFE aquariums. The company was looking to standardize its IT operations for its global attractions and theme parks. The SimpliVity solution was chosen to eliminate IT cost and complexity and ensure high performance and availability for business-critical applications and data.
挑战
Merlin Entertainments, a large entertainment company, was facing challenges with its fragmented IT infrastructure. The company relied on a mix of independent server, storage, and data protection solutions at its remote sites. Equipment configurations and vendors varied widely from property to property, making administration and support a complicated and time-consuming process. The company initiated a modernization program to simplify operations and improve the economics, performance, and reliability of the company’s distributed IT environment.
解决方案
Merlin Entertainments selected SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure as the standard operating environment for its resort theme parks and midway attractions across the world. SimpliVity OmniCube eliminates IT sprawl, cost, and complexity by providing a scalable, modular, 2U building block of x86 resources that offers all the functionality of traditional IT infrastructure in a single device, with a unified administrative interface. The company standardized on two remote site layouts: a single-node configuration for midway attractions and a multi-node configuration for theme parks. Each remote location is backed up to an OmniCube in a regional data center for disaster recovery. Site-to-site operational failover is supported for business continuity.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
