AppDynamics Gives Logistics Leader Real-Time Control Over Application Performance
Years of accumulation. One network paying the price.
Storage fabric problems are invisible — until they aren't. For this manufacturer, the MDS switches had become a graveyard of outdated config, dead zones, and devices that hadn't been active in years. Nothing had broken yet. But the risk was compounding every day.
Assess. Clean. Migrate. Document.
Configuration Assessment
Full review of existing MDS switch configurations against current best practices. Every deviation documented, every risk surfaced.
Firmware Validation & Upgrade
Current firmware versions checked, gaps identified, and upgrades executed — closing the exposure window that had been growing unnoticed.
Dead Device & Zone Cleanup
Inactive devices and stale zones identified and removed. The fabric went from cluttered to clean — visible, manageable, and trustworthy.
AIX Server Migration to New INFINIDAT
Critical AIX servers migrated from old INFINIDAT storage to new. New zoning configured. Old device zoning decommissioned cleanly.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
Switch port map, dead device inventory, and full zoning documentation handed to the team — so they own the network they're running.
Before & after — the SAN fabric transformation.
The before state was invisible complexity — servers attached to both old and new storage, dead zones cluttering the fabric, and no clear documentation. The after state is clean: AIX servers zoned exclusively to the new INFINIDAT, dead entries removed, and firmware current across all MDS switches.
