Case Study - Data Center Migrations and Consolidations

ComSource was approached by a major financial services corporation (a 15 year ComSource customer) to offer solutions to outsource their mainframe disk and tape needs. The company had been looking to one of the industry's largest "players" to offer what, at that time they thought was the best solution. ComSource was asked to prepare architectural and economic proposals to assist them in their decision making process. Timing, economics and customer satisfaction were all critical factors in making this a successful data migration.

In summary, ComSource was able to provide savings on the supply of an IBM z890 2086-A04 processor, IBM DS8300 disk, an IBM 3494 Library, 2 Virtual Tape Servers as well as the "swing" 2105 Shark. ComSource successfully managed the disk migration to include initial TDMF of data from four other host disk subsystems over to the asset swap IBM Shark 2105 disk and migration of data over bandwidth from the old host, utilizing PPRC, to the new target IBM DS8300 disk. In addition, ComSource provided "Heartbeat" migration services to move all the data in each VTS cache to the new target IBM 3494-B20 VTS and 3494-B18 VTS.

As a result of the project being properly architected, competitively priced, and being completed on schedule and on budget, the customer was extremely pleased with the total migration solution ComSource provided.
