14 Schedule Product selection Q Evaluate and 2 x POC. Tight implementation schedule for a total solution Q Server and Storage solution selection & procurement Q Delivery, Installation, UAT,SIT Q Project completion (Target) 14

15 How did We Achieve it? Competent & Hardworking Colleagues Teamwork 15 Success

16 The new server infrastructure PRIMEPOWER650 4 x 1.89GHz SPARC64V 16GB, 2 x 36GB U320 HDDs Solaris 9, Oracle 9iRAC PRIMECLUSTER 4.1 Enterprise Server Public LAN (10/100 Ethernet) Heartbeat (Gb Ethernet) Cisco 2950SX LTO2 LTO2 FC (2Gbps) Multi-mode Fibre FC (2Gbps) FC (2Gbps) Brocade 8-port FC Switch 2 LWL SFPs, 2 SWL SFPs Single-mode Fibre ETERNUS3000 M100 2 x Controller, 4 FC ports 2GB Cache, 10 x 73GB + 1 x 147GB FC HDDs < 500m Fibre Link Computer Room 1 Computer Room 2 16
