Dell 3-2-1 Reference Configurations: High available and scalable performance ...Principled Technologies
Dell 3-2-1 Reference Configurations consisting of Dell PowerEdge R720 servers, Dell Force10 S4810P switches, and Dell EqualLogic PS6110XV storage provide a range of configuration options so that you can select the one that is right for your business needs. Additionally, each configuration is easily scalable to accommodate for business growth.
The 3-2-1 base configuration provides a robust solution for any business needing to support up to 500 users on multiple business applications. Our tests demonstrate this solution supporting 500 users per VM for four VMs including two database VMs, one email VM, and one collaboration application VM.
If the number of users you need to support exceeds the user count the base configuration provides, adding another Dell PowerEdge R720 server to make a 4-2-1 configuration can support up to 1,000 users on multiple business applications while maintaining high availability. Our tests demonstrate this solution supporting 1,000 users per VM in the same four VMs as the 3-2-1 solution. Additionally, these configurations are so easy to scale upward that you can complete the process of adding a server in a matter of two hours or less from start to finish.
If you require support for an even higher number of users, adding a server and storage array to the base configuration, to make a 4-2-2 configuration allows for up to 1,500 users on multiple business applications. Our tests demonstrated this when we ran 1,500 users against each of the four VMs. Better yet, adding a Dell EqualLogic PS6110XV storage array to an existing 4-2-1 configuration is a cinch, taking under 30 minutes start to finish.
All of these Dell Reference Configurations give your business the reliability of highly available hardware configurations, greatly reducing downtime resulting from any hardware malfunctions.
By choosing proven Dell architecture, you avoid the hassles of putting your infrastructure together piece by piece, reducing the potential for error and providing you with a sturdy solution that is easily scalable to fit your present and future needs.

Data Loss Case Study - Backup and Disaster Revovery
1. THE IMPACT OF NETWORK AND OR SERVER
DOWNTIME
Posted on 08 March 2012.
A failure of a critical Microsoft Windows application can lead to two types of losses:
• Loss of the application service – the impact of downtime varies with the
application and the business. For example, for some businesses, email can
be an absolutely business-critical service that costs thousands of dollars a
minute when unavailable.
• Loss of data – the potential loss of data due to an outage can have
significant legal and financial impact, again depending on the specific type of
application.
In determining the impact of downtime, you must understand the cost to your
business in downtime per minute or hour. In some cases, you can determine a
quantifiable cost (orders not taken). Other, less direct costs may include loss of
reputation and customer churn.
The loss of production data can also be very costly, for a variety of reasons. In the
manufacturing environment, the loss of data could affect compliance with regulations,
leading to wasted product, fines, and potentially hazardous situations. For example, if
a pharmaceutical company that is manufacturing drugs does not show all of the
records of its collected data from the manufacturing process, the FDA could force the
company to throw away its entire batch of drugs. Because it is critical to know the
value for every variable when manufacturing drugs, the company could face fines for
not complying with FDA regulations.
2. Publicly-traded companies may need to ensure the integrity of financial data, while
financial institutions must adhere to SEC regulations for maintaining and protecting
data. For monitoring and control software, data loss and downtime interrupts your
ability to react to events, alarms, or changes that require immediate corrective action.
The bottom line is downtime is very expensive and preventing downtime is the most important
factor in any business operation.
