Deployment of New vSAN Witness Server and Proxy Update for Maryland University

Q3 2021

This local Maryland university needed better maintenance and update cycles for their VMware investments and Dell servers while facing a strict security requirement: nothing could directly contact the internet. In order to securely update the university’s data center investments, Data Networks developed a solution to deploy a new physical host server with an update proxy for their VMware Update Manager to cache updates without requiring secured systems to be connected to the internet. This solution also included an update proxy deployment for the Dell Server Update Utility to cache Dell server updates as well as a new vSAN Witness Appliance deployment.
