Scenario 2
Air Airlines is operating Datacenters in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Miami. Virtualization ratio is 60%. The company is looking for a solution to virtualize the backend servers hosting their check in and baggage claim applications.
Due to past experiences with mixed environments, they have requested for a 100% virtualized design. Availability is absolute top priority for Air Airlines. Downtimes must be reduced as much as possible (planned and unplanned).
Panelist only information
Potential guidelines
- 99.9% uptime for the backend service, even in case of a disaster
- Applications must scale easily
- The two applications share a single web front end. Each application has its own application tier and database tier.
- Due to air traffic security restrictions, access to the infrastructure must be very restricted and secured
- Design needs to be server and network vendor agnostic
