Case Study: Cyber Security Firm saves $1M in TCO with SHI International Corp.'s multi-vendor data center solution

Data Center Expansion Needed to Support Merging IT Security Firms

SHI International Corp. helped a market-leading Cyber Security Firm merge two smaller cyber security providers and their separate data centers into one unified environment. The customer needed to decommission both legacy data centers and build a new one capable of supporting thousands of clients nationwide, along with 2,000 internal end users, without disrupting operations.

SHI International Corp. designed and implemented a multi-vendor data center and managed security services solution using Pure Storage arrays, Dell servers and blade chassis, Cisco Nexus switching, Microsoft software, VMware vSphere, and Commvault backup. The project increased computing capacity, reduced the overall data center footprint, supported future growth, and helped the customer save over $1 million in total cost of ownership over an 18-month transformation.
