Refresh for Travis Perkins
22 Jul 2008

Logicalis has completed a total IT infrastructure refresh and dual data centre operations for Travis Perkins, leading suppliers to the UK building and construction industry. Utilising HP technologies, the solution has successfully consolidated the organisation’s IT infrastructure following a period of acquisitive activity, whilst improving disaster recovery systems and providing the scalability to support the company’s growth strategy.

“Much of our infrastructure was nearing end-of-life and we quickly recognised that our expansion rate would require significant change in our datacentre environment. Not only had capacity become an issue but, as the company continued to grow, any downtime would even more significantly impact operations and the profitability of the business.”

 

Logicalis and HP were chosen to design, integrate and support a dual data centre environment for Travis Perkins, whilst consolidating all Wickes’ and Travis Perkins’ critical business applications onto a unified HP platform.

With two new data centres providing replication and failover, the solution includes four 1Gb links to join the data centres and split the Travis Perkins’ Wide Area Network (WAN) between the two sites to provide automatic re-routing of data and avoid costly downtime.
