Winterflood Securities deploys Cisco unified computing system

Working with Logicalis, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, Winterflood Securities has undertaken a project to migrate its VMware infrastructure to the new platform. The solution includes four Unified Computing System (UCS) chassis; Nexus 1000, 2000 and 5000 series switches; Catalyst 6500 series 10 gigabit Ethernet switches; and services and support.

The company said its UCS unites computational, network, storage access and virtualization resources in a single energy-efficient system that can reduce information technology infrastructure costs and complexity, help extend capital assets, and improve business agility.

Grant Davidson, manager of IT special projects at Winterflood, said: "Capitalizing on new market opportunities as and when they arise marks the difference between success and failure in the capital markets. We see this as a strategic implementation that will provide us with the flexibility, agility and reliability that will allow us to adapt with the demands of the market and our clients, delivering the services they require.

"With Cisco Advanced Services working in concert with Logicalis' services, the integration of the Cisco platform with our existing network has been a simple and straightforward process and we look forward to a continued successful relationship."
