Case Study: Maryland Health Department achieves faster, more reliable infrastructure with Data Networks

Maryland Health Department modernizes VMware infrastructure with Data Networks for 15 virtual workloads

The Maryland Health Department, a large county health agency, faced a critical infrastructure challenge as its servers, storage, and switches reached end of support, limiting its ability to upgrade applications and scale within its existing data center. The agency needed an extremely reliable and scalable solution that would minimize downtime and avoid significant changes to its IT processes. Data Networks was enlisted to address these challenges.

Data Networks strategically refreshed the infrastructure by replacing end-of-life Dell servers with PowerEdge R640s, upgrading the storage to a Dell EMC Unity 350F all-flash array, and installing new 10GbE Dell switches. This comprehensive refresh was accomplished in a single migration with no downtime, resulting in dramatically improved compute, storage, and network performance for the agency. The solution from Data Networks extended the life of the existing investments and provided the agency with a high-performing, scalable environment to support its public health mission.
