Hyper-V on Dell EMC and Juniper Networks

Denser IT to Maximize Investment Life for Orange Water and Sewer Authority

Q2 2020

Data Networks designed a new primary datacenter infrastructure for OWASA to be staged, built and configured remotely at our Baltimore-based Staging and Configuration Center, facilitating easier onsite deployment. The new solution includes migration from a Dell/EMC FX Chassis to a 3-node Dell PowerEdge R640 cluster. To support independent scaling of storage from other components of the infrastructure, a Dell EMC Hybrid 380XT 10Gbps iSCSI SAN will be deployed to replace the existing storage solutions. A hybrid solution such as this allows OWASA to easily scale both performance and local capacity without having to make investments in more compute, networking, or disaggregated storage solutions. Finally, (2) Juniper EX4600 Multi-Gig Switches will be deployed to act as top-of-rack switching to interconnect the hyper-converged hosts.
