Zero Downtime Infrastructure, Zero Downtime Support
Based on the customer's request, we designed a comprehensive solution for the consolidation of e-mail services in its subsidiaries (CZ, HU and PL), as the e-mail system is one of the key and critical applications for the company. The aim of the solution was to provide e-mail services for subsidiaries through the operated e-mail system.
The implementation of the solution brought a unification of the environment and unification of e-mail clients, a reduction in the cost of disk performance and at the same time an increase in e-mail boxes. The implementation results in the following benefits:
- the system is completely centralized
- the system is completely virtualized
- the system is redundant with load distribution in two data centers
- the system enables uniterrupted operation with long high database availability
- e-mail boxes are backed up by a central backup system

Upgrade Exchange to 2016

The upgrade of MS Exchange 2016 was based on the submitted requirements for the functionality of the solution. E-mail services are installed on four virtual servers on the MS Exchange version 2010 platform.
The benefit is the openness of MS Exchange Server 2016 to other applications and its integration with other products. The user environment of the system is sufficiently pleasant and at the same time familiar, so working with it does not require any special training. Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 brought simpler and more comfortable server administration to administrators as well. This makes the unified platform and managing the same e-mail clients easier.
Monitoring tool upgrade

Upgrade of the Zabbix monitoring tool in version 4.0 in a production environment
Zabbix
Zero Downtime Monitoring
Implementation of a new updated version of the Zabbix 4.0 LTS monitoring system with optimization of the use of existing resources for monitoring as well as the transformation of the majority of the existing Zabbix monitoring version 2.2.
With the release of Zabbix 4.0 LTS, LTS support for Zabbix 2.2, which is currently in operation, has been definitively finished. After the upgrade, the demands on the performance of resources of the central Zabbix monitoring server at its original scope were reduced and in some cases the volume of network communication was reduced at the same scope of the monitored environment, i.e. increase the security of content from some sources.

Zero Downtime Infrastructure
Upgrade VMware vCenter, which is currently in version 5.5.0 and is built on the platform MS Windows 2008R2 SP1 Standard a ESXi in version 5.5.0.
VMware infrastructure upgrade includes upgrade and migration of vCenter servers in DC Devínska and DC Sereď locations and upgrade of ESXi guests in both locations. The updated environment is based on VMware vSphere 6.7.1 in both sites. vCenter server is installed in a Linux environment. The network connection is configured using the LACP protocol. VMs are placed on datastores using DRS storage technology.

Within many years of experience in building and operating secure and highly available IT environments, our company has implemented and operated a complete underlying infrastructure for the ERP information system. The ERP system is a key and at the same time critical application in this company.
Our solution, the so-called Zero Downtime Cluster for ERP consists of several servers needed to create a virtualized environment. The solution is designed to be highly secure and accessible not only in terms of IT infrastructure as such, but also in terms of services provided. The basic level of HW and SW support of the supplied infrastructure represents coverage of 24/7.

Implementation of Zero Downtime Backup, replacement of an existing backup solution
IBM, HPE
Zero Downtime Backup
The backup solution was based on the EMC Avamar product. The solution consists of three servers. Two are located in DC Sereď and one in DC Devínska. Servers use the servers' local disk storage to store backed up data.
The implemented solution of backup systems is based on the submitted requirements for the functionality of the solution. Once the backup system optimization is implemented, the systems are backed up more clearly , the backups are easy to manage and configure, and the resources in the infrastructure are better used. The implemented solution is based on the replacement of the existing EMC Avamar backup system in both locations with a new Zero Downtime Backup solution, which contains a server and a disk array with the following items stored:
- IBM Spectrum Protect database
- IBM Spectrum Protect logs (active log, archive log)
- "Container" disk storage pools

Zero Downtime Backup
Based on the analysis of the original backup system and identified performance deficiencies, technically obsolete HW and SW and requirements for new services, we designed an optimal solution for central backup of IT infrastructure systems in the Devínska Nová Ves and Sereď data centers (DC).
The solution is based on the replacement of the existing EMC Avamar backup system in both locations with a new Zero Downtime Backup solution.
The implementation of a new backup system has brought the customer a more technologically advanced backup infrastructure, the systems are backed up more clearly, the backups are easily manageable and configurable, and the resources in the infrastructure are better usable.
