At a time when digitalization marks the direction of the most strategic sectors, the alliance between Hewlett Packard Enterprise y SUSE It has proven to be a key catalyst for technological transformation in the field of transport and mobility.
An outstanding global company in the sector has completely renewed its critical infrastructure, relying on hyperconvergente solutions and in robust business software to ensure continuity, scalability and maximum operational efficiency.
A critical challenge in a 24/7 environment
The starting point could not be more demanding: a IT infrastructure that should be renewed both to maintain the daily operation and to support new digital services. Among the main objectives was the need to expand the capacities of Virtualizationconsolidate services and enable real -time video analysis to reinforce security and optimize processes.
The solution should guarantee a transition without interruptions and adapt to the demands of continuous operation, where even seconds of inactivity can have a significant impact.
Scalability without bottlenecks
The answer came from the hand of an architecture based on hyperconvergente clusters of latest generation HPE servers. This infrastructure, which integrates distributed computing and storage capabilities, allows horizontally and efficient to climb, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring high availability thanks to its redundant design.
In addition, the choice of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (Sles) as an operating system in all nodes provided an optimized platform for critical environments. Its latest version includes key features such as Live Patching, complete system rollback and a safe software supply chain, which allow to maintain permanently updated and protected systems without interrupting services.
Tangible advantages from the first day
The implementation of this solution has been an before and after for the transport company. Now, the IT team can display new virtual machines in minutes, which drastically reduces the provision times and facilitates the isolation of critical workloads. In addition, the environment is prepared to withstand intensive video analysis applications, which opens the door to new digital services.
Among the most prominent benefits:
-
Continuous availability: With Live Patching and redundant hardware, the system maintains a practically 100%operation.
-
Reinforced security: Hot -applied security patches without vulnerability windows.
-
Modular scalability: New nodes can be added to the cluster without redesign the system.
-
Operational efficiency: Reduction of energy consumption, consolidation of loads and centralized administration.
-
Innovation support: Agile deployment of new applications and functionalities.
A collaboration with vision of the future
Beyond technology, the success of the project has resided in the close collaboration between HPE and SUSE. From the design of the architecture to migration and start -up, both teams worked in a coordinated manner with the client staff, acting as a single unit with a shared objective: guaranteeing a fluid transition and a platform ready for the future.
This alliance, with more than 25 years of history, has allowed to offer a Fully integrated hardware and software solutionminimizing risks, reducing the implementation times and ensuring a solid technological basis on which to continue building.
