IT PARTNERS Case Study: City of Phoenix

Overview

The City of Phoenix owns and operates the Phoenix Airport System. The existing data center was highly constrained, with power and air conditioning nearing capacity and very limited amounts of available rack space. Connectivity to the rest of the City of Phoenix, as well as to the Internet, was through a non-redundant network infrastructure. The Aviation Department's Technology Division selected Hewlett-Packard (HP) and VMware technologies to help address these challenges. IT Partners engaged with the city's staff to implement Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions within the Aviation Department data center and SAN replication at the City of Phoenix IT Operations Center.
