Cooperation with VX Company
Vancis and VX Company IT Services B.V. have partnered for an innovative IT solution. VX Company manages customer environments (infrastructure, applications and web sites) running on the On-Demand Virtual Server concept of Vancis.
On Demand
At both datacenters of Vancis a server and network infrastructure has been built using VMware for the virtualization layer. The entire infrastructure is redundant on all functional areas and consists of dual servers and redundant network and storage components. Thanks to the replication capabilities of the SAN Array of Vancis, the data storage can take place redundantly and geographically distributed.
The Vancis concept consists of building blocks, implying that VX Company can use on demand the infrastructure that best fits the needs and demands of its customers. The on-demand concept provides computing power (cores), memory (RAM GB Memory), data storage (SAN fiber channel disks), virtual firewalls and Internet connectivity.
VX Company is in full control
Through secure access (with a proxy server and two-factor authentication) on the virtualized IT environment at Vancis, VX Company has full control over the upper layers, such as operating systems and applications, which means that they can log in live on the VI client of VMware. VX Company also acts as service provider for its end customer.
Herman Terra, senior account manager Vancis: "One of the attractive aspects of this service is that is an all-in virtual datacenter service, whereby VX Company holds full control over the upper software layer."
Roland Deters, senior service manager VX Company: "Vancis offers high quality services and its scope and philosophy fits well with VX Company. Successful cooperation in the realization of a virtualized environment for one of our customers inspired us to join forces… and with success…!”
Disaster Recovery
Vancis also offers a disaster recovery service with a back-up service based on IBM’s TSM environment. The first time, a full dump of the data is created, thereafter the incremental-forever approach is applied. The data is stored geographically distributed on the tape libraries in the Vancis datacenters in Amsterdam and Almere.
