Scaling to meet a world of travelers’ needs
Reed summarizes, “Upon project completion,
wewillstore100%ofourdataonNetApp
and deliver all of our IT services via a private
cloud built on the Cisco, NetApp, and
VMware reference architecture. Utilizing
VMware vCenter Configuration Manager,
orchestration tools, and privileged account
and access structures, we also expect to
enable self-provisioned services that will
allow us to dramatically scale services to
our users without expanding IT staff. For
example, our sales department will be able
to process hundreds more RFPs each
month, and analysts will have the capability
to handle nearly 70 times more weekly
claims. This infrastructure has delivered
value now and value for the future—no other
solution could deliver an equivalent combi-
nation of immediate functionality/efficiency
and long-term scalability/flexibility.”

storage, the equivalent of a year’s worth of new capacity.
In reality, we’re leveraging that and the other infrastructure
savings to expedite the next two phases of the project,
including deploying our virtual desktop environment
approximately two years earlier than planned.”
