About The Customer
Eubelius is a prominent independent law firm based in Belgium, with offices in Brussels, Kortrijk, and Antwerp. The firm was dealing with a capacity-constrained legacy IT implementation and was in the process of implementing a VMware Horizon VDI initiative. The firm's IT manager, Steven Bauwelinckx, was seeking to refresh the firm's aging IT infrastructure as part of this initiative. The firm needed a solution that was easy to deploy and administer, offered built-in data protection features, and provided rapid VM cloning and recovery capabilities.
The Challenge
Eubelius, a law firm based in Belgium, was facing challenges with its outdated IT infrastructure. The firm's legacy infrastructure and storage arrays were running out of capacity, and the organization was also constrained by an antiquated tape-based data protection solution. Data backup and recovery procedures were inefficient, consuming a lot of storage capacity and taking hours to complete. The firm was in the process of implementing a VMware Horizon VDI initiative and needed to refresh its aging IT infrastructure as part of this initiative.
The Solution
After a detailed product demonstration, Eubelius chose the HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged solution for its next-generation IT environment. The HPE SimpliVity solution provides a highly scalable foundation for the firm’s virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) implementation, and ensures high performance and availability for the organization’s core business applications and IT services. The firm installed a four-node HPE SimpliVity configuration in its primary data center and another node in a secondary location for disaster recovery. The solution replaced two full equipment racks of legacy equipment with four 2U HPE SimpliVity nodes that offer far greater capacity.
