Fast deployment does not solve all problems
Integrated Systems can yet cause high efforts during operation
Updates for each component (patches, security fixes)
Compatibility of components not always ensured
High integration and testing efforts due to different release cycles
A lot to be done by yourself, again and again
Faced with same headache as for DIY approach
Maintenance and operation in general
How to avoid the headache during operation?

Integrated System within one Enclosure
Customer
Barrie Knitwear, Hawick UK, produces and sells luxury clothing
Situation
Six standalone physical servers, each supporting a variety of applications including HR, finance and office tools
No high availability concept
Project: Server consolation, introducing high availability
Working with IT partner, JayByJay
Decision for Fujitsu’s Cluster-in-a-Box – a high availability, all-in-one appliance based on servers, storage and Microsoft Windows Server 2012
“We wanted something we could plug in straight out-of-the box that would give us sufficient capacity for the next five to ten years,” adds Kirkwood. “However, we had no experience with virtualisation and found the competing solutions confusing. There were multiple modules and options available but few vendors seemed keen to explain them to a layperson.”« Mark Kirkwood, IT Manager, Barrie Knitwear
