Case Study
SAN Replication Infrastructure Modernization
A leading global cloud provider engaged Introl to significantly modernize their Storage Area Network (SAN) replication infrastructure within a critical data center located in London. The existing setup relied heavily on legacy LC OM3 multimode fiber cabling, causing substantial limitations in performance, scalability, and maintainability.
The Challenge
As data workloads continued to grow, the client recognized the urgent need for a major upgrade to accommodate increasing demands and maintain service continuity. The legacy infrastructure presented multiple challenges:
The Solution
Complete transition from legacy LC OM3 to high-performance OM4 MTP structured cabling, dramatically improving bandwidth and signal integrity.
Deployment of high-density MTP mirror panels, facilitating simplified and efficient cable management while reducing maintenance complexity.
Rigorous planning and dedicated on-site effort over multiple weekends supported zero impact to live production workloads during the transition.
Comprehensive testing to confirm improvements in replication speeds, reliability, and system scalability across the modernized infrastructure.
The Results
The London SAN modernization project delivered measurable improvements across all key metrics:
Enhanced replication speeds and reliability through modern OM4 MTP infrastructure.
High-density mirror panels dramatically reduce cable management complexity and maintenance burden.
Infrastructure strategically positioned for seamless scalability and continued growth.
Through rigorous planning, dedicated on-site effort, and precise execution over multiple weekends, Introl successfully modernized the SAN replication infrastructure at the London data center. By transitioning to OM4 MTP structured cabling and advanced replication hardware, Introl demonstrated proven capabilities in delivering sophisticated, scalable, and reliable infrastructure solutions to meet the complex needs of global cloud providers.
