On Monday I’ve meeting with K.Surayut and he request us to quote EMC Storage Tuning Service for 2 VNX5200 arrays krub. They need us to help them re-design LUN on existing storage and see how improve to their system.
I already told him base on our Performance report show that tuning will not much improve the performance due to performance exceed on existing configuration. But he still need the Tuning Service, in other hand , he need to have business with us before we go to new Storage Project.
Additional information;
- He give me MA Price for existing 2 x EMC VNX5200 at approx. 1.5M THB plus disk upgrade approx. 2.5M THB. He going to compare with new storage which can support growth for new project next year and Pure Storage/IBM FlashSystem 900 are in picture to propose krub.
- Dr. Pichit have join Microsoft Conference last week and interesting in Microsoft Hyper-V. They are considering to move to Hyper-V with small cost to Existing VM-Ware, cost comparisons is in process.
- I do present Zerto to K.Surayut and he quite interesting because he still need CDP solution to protect their production database.
Next Step;
- I’ll collect VMs information for service team to calculate Storage Tuning Service Cost. With this service, we may need to use our Pure Storage for data migration and K.Surayut accept to pay rental on Pure Storage.
- I’ll collect EMC Performance Log for compare before and after Tuning for reference krub.
- I’ll plan to do Zerto POC ASAP krub.
