Why Hydration?How many hours of your life have you already spent looking at stuff like this:

HydrationA typical enterprise SharePoint install may take 4 hours or more, including all the pre-requisites and updatesHydration provisions workloads in a fraction of the time with minimal or zero effort requiredNo black magic… using the existing automation and extensibility points in the software so it’s repeatable and supportableGreat example of the value of Microsoft Services’ experience packaged up in DCS

Hydration - DCS

Hydration - Workload

Getting You ThereWe rarely see VM ‘green fields’Core part of DCS value is making migration easy and efficientDCS builds on the Virtual Machine Migration Toolkit to automate migrations at high scale and low cost

Making it Real

Royal Mail“The Hyper-V project will pay back the original investment in 19 months, and over four years will realize savings of £1.8 million compared to the previous operation”

Adrian Steel, Head of Infrastructure ManagementRoyal Mail Group

REDUCED COSTS

FLEXIBILITY AGILITY EASY TO IMPLEMENT

MANAGED CHANGE

Royal Mail165,000 employeesEvery working day RMG processes and delivers more than 70 million items to 28 million addressesIts parcels business—General Logistics Systems and Parcelforce Worldwide—handle 404 million parcels a yearMuch of IT operation outsourced to CSCInitial wave of ~700 servers converging on to C7000 HP blade enclosures and EVA 4400 storage arrays

DCS ValueReduced Risk

Fast Track hardwareProven, supportable IAAS architectureClear, well refined deployment models and methodologies

Ongoing SuccessEfficient workload provisioning with hydrationEmpowering partner (CSC) to build and run the solution

Proven ResultsExperienced team of Services experts shoulder to shoulder with Royal Mail colleagues, driving solution architecture, delivery, and support

ResultsRoyal Mail’s private cloud is also the foundation of their hybrid cloud, running SharePoint workloads federated with their Office 365 deploymentMicrosoft Services helped CSC develop expertise on our stack, both to serve Royal Mail and to enable future CSC opportunities

“Working as a team with CSC, Microsoft Services passed on its in-depth experience at every stage. The result is a world class deployment.”
