Skilled Engineering runs always-on IT with the power of EMC| #emcworld
by Elizabeth Kays | May 8, 2015
With over 50,000 employees worldwide, Skilled Engineering, an Australian labor, hiring and recruitment company, is the perfect use-case for EMC Corp.’s systems. According to Pavel Rogik, the company’s senior technical analyst, running such a vast enterprise is hardly trivial. But with only six people on his IT infrastructure team, he’s responsible for everything from servers and storage to network and security.
“We need to make sure that our systems are available 24/7,” he told theCUBE during EMC World 2015. “We actually place people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so it’s a really big part of the organization. And pay calculations — just to mention some — 50,000 people want to get their paychecks on time.”
Implementing activated topology
“So recently, we implemented an activated topology,” Rogik explained. “We’re using VMware, so Hypervisor, and we’re basically moving workloads between two sides. The storage, we use XtremIO; we utilize VPLEX for the activated topology piece, and VDX [Brocade’s Ethernet product] for the networking.”
Moving the workloads between two data centers allows the company to shut down one center and run everything on the other without any downtime in case of problems — a big step up for the company.
“Basically, what we’ve found with EMC and Brocade Solutions, if the design is right and it’s configured correctly, you don’t have to touch it. It just works,” he said.
