Case Study: Comair Limited achieves scalable, high-performance online services and automated DR with VMware virtual data centre

Comair Chooses Virtual Data Centre to Help it Deliver Even More Innovative and Robust Online Services

Comair Limited, a Southern African airline operator and owner of kulula.com, needed to upgrade its online services to remain competitive. Growing web traffic and business demands forced the company to provision infrastructure faster, deploy applications more easily, and gain clearer visibility of resources, while also providing an offsite Disaster Recovery (DR) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment that could scale on demand.

Comair implemented RSAWEB’s Enterprise Cloud—an offsite Virtual Data Centre built on the VMware stack (vSphere, vCloud, NSX) with SolidFire storage—providing isolated private networks, automated DR, guaranteed IOPS and rapid scalability. The move delivered secure, high‑performance infrastructure with full resource visibility, reduced capital and maintenance overhead, improved IT collaboration and productivity, and the ability to balance load between owned systems and the VMware VDC as usage grows.
