Challenge
POSCO decided to move a significant number of its IT systems to the cloud. The company wanted to solidify its leadership in the market by increasing its flexibility and responsiveness to changes in the business environment. However, as the organization migrated its outdated on-premises supply chain management (SCM) system, it was unable to use its existing high-availability (HA) architecture to ensure that mission-critical applications would stay highly available.
Solution
Thus, POSCO decided to deploy Veritas InfoScale™, which can meet its service-level agreement (SLA) requirements and adjust resource allocation according to the importance of each application. Veritas provided consulting, technical support, and hands-on training.
Outcome
Veritas InfoScale was deployed in a mirrored active-standby clustering configuration that provided near-instantaneous failover of POSCO’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Performance equals the company’s legacy on-premises active-active Oracle RAC cluster, but at a lower overall cost.
