关于客户
客户是一家美国政府机构。随着工作量的增加，该机构发现越来越难以完成其核心任务。多年来，逐个项目部署磁盘阵列已导致数据存储基础架构庞大而低效。每个应用程序通常都有一个单独管理的存储孤岛，无法与新应用程序共享。这些存储孤岛通常要么超负荷，要么严重利用不足 — — 在第一种情况下会导致性能问题，在第二种情况下则代表投资浪费。在这种环境中，从多个不同供应商处购买和运行存储系统的成本很高且不断上升，该机构意识到其本质上没有计划的数据存储方法是不可持续的。
挑战
一家美国政府机构多年来逐个项目地部署磁盘阵列，导致其数据存储基础设施庞大而低效，苦不堪言。每个应用程序都有一个单独管理的存储孤岛，无法与新应用程序共享。这些存储孤岛要么已经爆满，要么利用率严重不足，导致性能问题或投资浪费。从多个不同供应商处购买和运营存储系统的成本很高且不断上升，该机构意识到其无计划的数据存储方法是不可持续的。需要维护多种不同的硬件和软件配置意味着存储的运营成本过高。该机构还存在利用率过低和利用率过高的孤岛：其在存储容量方面的大量投资没有发挥任何作用，而在其他领域，它正在努力扩展其阵列以满足不断增长的需求。
解决方案
政府机构聘请 Unisys 构建和运行企业级私有存储云。Unisys 了解该机构的问题，并提出了一个解决方案，即重新使用现有资产，而不是拆除和更换。这种方法既降低了初始成本，也降低了持续成本。Unisys 解决方案的核心是引入存储虚拟化层，将现有容量集中到一个灵活的资源中，并对所有底层阵列进行标准化管理。在合同的前两年，政府机构与 Unisys 和 IBM 合作，将 8 PB 的安装容量迁移到私有存储云中 — 物理上位于现有数据中心。得益于 IBM Spectrum Virtualize 中的精简配置，初始环境只需要 5 PB 的安装容量，从而可以淘汰一些阵列。

ELI LILLY ADOPTS MICROMEDIA’S ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Pharmaceutical production is subject to a strict set of enforced rules that must be adhered to and compliance to these standards is critically necessary. Due to the efforts of WIN 911’s strategic partner Micromedia, Lilly was able to adopt an alarm notification infrastructure that integrated smoothly with their existing workflows and emergency hardware and protocols. These raw energy sources enable the industrial process to function: electricity, WIN-911 Software | 4020 South Industrial Drive, Suite 120 | Austin, TX 78744 USA industrial steam, iced water, air mixtures of varying quality. Refrigeration towers, boilers and wastewater are monitored by ALERT. Eli Lilly identified 15000 potential variables, but limitations compelled them to chisel the variable list down to 300. This allowed all major alarms to be covered including pressure, discharge, quantity of waste water discharged,temperature, carbon dioxide content, oxygen & sulphur content, and the water’s pH.

IoT Solutions Give Commercial Fishing Real-time insights
Technology to support vessels in the commercial fishing industry had not changed significantly since the advent of radar. Over the past 40 years commercial fishing in the United States has continued to be one of the most active, yet regulated industries. The combination of federal regulations and lack of technology created an opportunity for Faria Watchdog to go-to-market with a solution.

The Home Depot's IT Innovation with Nutanix: A Case Study
The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, was facing a significant challenge in enhancing the performance and scalability of its IT infrastructure while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). The company's traditional approach of upgrading to faster servers and more efficient storage was no longer sufficient. The Home Depot needed a more innovative solution to reduce TCO and improve operational efficiency for its vast retail store and e-commerce business. The company was also looking for a way to consolidate its server, storage, and virtualization teams into a single operations group to optimize and manage the entire infrastructure stack from a single console. The challenge was to find a solution that would allow them to achieve these goals while also enabling them to quickly deploy new applications to internal users and customers.

Modular AI Defect Inspection Solution for Efficient Semiconductor Equipment Upgrades
Smasoft Technology Co., Ltd., a System Integrator that develops industrial automation software and offers AI application solutions, was commissioned by a semiconductor equipment manufacturer to implement AI inspection features into their Extreme Ultraviolet Light (EUV) pod inspection machines. The existing AOI software in the EUV pod inspection machines could only identify defective products but could not trace the cause of the defects. The manufacturer wanted to upgrade their machines with AI features to make the products more useful. The AI solution needed to complete the analysis of 380 images for a single pod within two minutes and inspect different materials simultaneously. This required multiple sets of AI models for interpretation. The solution also needed to be installed in a cabinet in the lower half of the machines, which posed a challenge due to the limited space. Smasoft needed to purchase a hardware solution with strong computing performance, stable operation, compact size, and flexible configuration to overcome these challenges.

Revamping EE's Legacy ERP: A Case Study on BT's Strategic Transformation
EE, even after its merger with BT, was operating its ERP estate on legacy infrastructure, hosted on the premises of a third-party supplier. This outdated system resulted in a volume-based operational model, higher time to market, longer delivery cycles, and unsatisfactory customer experience. BT recognized the need for a strategic transformation of these aging ERP systems and sought a partner who could proactively manage application services. The partner was also expected to handle development requirements associated with application management services, drive accountability, and ownership with a time and target-driven transformation of these services. BT's primary goals were to improve customer experience, reduce cycle time, and measure these improvements with precision.
