INDA: 100% Virtualized
Throughout a long partnership, INDA and JCMR Technology have worked together to improve INDA’s business and IT infrastructure alignment. INDA engaged JCMR Technology to assist with network support, which improved the overall network infrastructure.
Migrating to a Virtual Environment
INDA sought a more economical, energy-efficient solution to the problems caused by its aging infrastructure, limited space, slow server response times, and physical limitations. Space in the data center was limited, INDA’s hardware and software could not be upgraded, and many applications did not support cloud technology. A server outage could cause the loss of e-commerce and member databases, resulting in lost income and the inability to perform reconciliation functions. INDA required an efficient, cost-effective solution to these infrastructure challenges.
After consulting with INDA and reviewing their operational requirements, JCMR Technology and INDA staff determined that virtualization was the best solution to INDA’s challenges. JCMR assisted with the planning, design, procurement, implementation, and support of the new virtualized environment. Virtualization allowed INDA to enjoy the benefit of improved stability. INDA’s infrastructure now includes failover capability, energy efficiency, improved storage capabilities, and faster response times.
