Project Scope: Implementation of SAN, Virtualization, and Storage Solutions

A University Loans Board in Kenya partnered with DTE to enhance its data management capabilities with Dell’s state-of-the-art Storage Area Network (SAN), Virtualization, and Storage solutions. This initiative aimed to modernize HELB’s infrastructure for streamlined data access, secure storage, and robust disaster recovery.

Technical Approach.

Our team developed an integrated Dell-based architecture combining SAN, virtualization, and advanced storage management. The SAN infrastructure centralized the customer’s data storage, optimizing resource allocation and enabling data deduplication, encryption, and tiered storage. By virtualizing server environments, we reduced physical hardware dependency, creating a flexible, scalable platform that ensures data accessibility and resilience against failures. We also implemented backup strategies and disaster recovery protocols for high data availability.

Outcomes and Benefits.

This project significantly improved HELB’s operational efficiency and data security. The SAN environment allowed fast data retrieval, while virtualization decreased hardware costs and energy consumption. With automated backups and streamlined disaster recovery, HELB now experiences minimal service interruptions, ensuring seamless access to data critical for financial operations. This scalable setup supports HELB’s long-term growth and commitment to reliable service delivery.
