Key Takeaways:

250+ VMs deployed with full HA and live migration

Uptime improved from 95% to 99.99%

VM provisioning time reduced from days to minutes

Dell-VMware stack built for dynamic scaling and operational efficiency

Opportunity:

A South India-based Managed Services Provider delivering scalable IT solutions to enterprise clients sought a secure, high-performance infrastructure. Their goals included:

Hosting critical virtual workloads with consistent uptime
Managing multiple tenant environments efficiently
Reducing provisioning time and operational overhead
Building an elastic, modular setup to support future growth

Brilyant was brought in to deliver a robust private cloud solution that could support multi-tenant needs with high availability, automation, and control.

Key Strategy:

Brilyant designed a high-availability private cloud with a 3-tier architecture, integrating Dell and VMware technologies to ensure flexibility, resilience, and future scalability.

Discover and Analyze:

The client’s previous infrastructure offered limited uptime (95%) and slow provisioning processes. Their growing customer base demanded fast, reliable service with seamless multi-tenant management.

Brilyant identified the need for:

• Centralized VM lifecycle management

• Faster provisioning across tenants

• Redundant infrastructure for failover and uptime

• Integrated monitoring and alerting

Model:

Brilyant implemented a 3-tier private cloud model tailored for performance and continuity:

• Compute Layer: 3× Dell PowerEdge T750 Servers with enterprise-grade CPUs, memory, and redundant power

• Storage Layer: Dell ME5012 Storage Array with hybrid SSD/HDD setup and dual controllers

• Virtualization Layer: VMware vSphere and vCenter for VM management, HA, DRS, and vMotion

Key Additions:

• 250+ VMs deployed across tenants

• VMware HA clusters for failover protection

• vMotion for seamless load balancing

• Dell OpenManage + VMware tools for real-time monitoring

• Integrated third-party backup & recovery for resilience

Execute and Deliver:

Brilyant delivered a turnkey private cloud solution using Dell servers and VMware tools, provisioning 250 VMs and configuring high-availability clusters. All systems were tested for seamless vMotion and load balancing before go-live. The client’s IT environment was operational from Day 1 with 99.99% uptime and a fully centralized dashboard, driving efficiency across tenants.

Result:

Brilyant’s Dell-VMware private cloud deployment transformed the client’s ability to manage multi-tenant workloads efficiently, with near-instant provisioning and industry-leading uptime. The elastic, modular setup now supports rapid scaling while ensuring service continuity for all tenants.

To summarize:

250+ virtual machines deployed and managed centrally
Uptime improved from 95% to 99.99%
VM provisioning time reduced from days to minutes

High-availability VMware clusters ensuring uninterrupted service
Scalable, future-ready infrastructure for expanding workloads

Brilyant’s robust private cloud architecture gave the client the tools, speed, and resilience to deliver consistent, high-quality services while reducing operational overhead and preparing for long-term growth.
