Hyper-V Infrastructure Refresh with Dell Servers, Switches, and Storage

Leveraging Existing Investments and Increasing Efficiency for Roland Park Country School

Q3 2020

Data Networks discovered that RCPS’ applications and data were hosted on outdated data center infrastructure with operating systems in extended support. The existing storage had limited scalability, preventing incremental scale-up investments for capacity or performance issues, and the school’s bandwidth needs had outgrown the 1GbE switching network. In order to better leverage RCPS’ IT investments and increase efficiency, administration, performance, and availability, Data Networks upgraded the existing hypervisor with Windows Server 2019 Data Center hosts configured in the Hyper-V hypervisor role, and upgraded the compute, networking, and storage configurations with 2 Dell PowerEdge R640 servers, 2 Dell PowerSwitches, and a Dell PowerVault storage array, respectively.
