Travelport, Presidio, and Cisco worked together to complete the design and engineering
work for the Cisco Unified Computing System and Nexus switches before the
equipment was ordered. When Cisco Services arrived, the systems were already
cabled, racked, and stacked. Cisco Services went to work with Travelport’s team to
configure the systems to the company’s specific requirements. Working together
through the Cisco Unified Computing System Manager, the team configured service
profiles, set up MAC address pools, created reports, and developed standards for
labeling fabric interconnects to track alerts through data center systems. Presidio also
provided onsite technical support for the Unified Computing System and Nexus systems
during implementation. Cisco Services, Intel, and Presidio helped Travelport accelerate
its implementation to quickly begin realizing the benefits delivered by the Cisco Unified
Computing System and Nexus solutions.

Since the initial deployment, Travelport has added blades and Nexus Series Switches.
Today Travelport’s IT group has deployed 1215 Cisco Unified Computing System blade
servers powered by Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors, two Nexus 7010
Series Switches, two Nexus 7018 Series switches, and 16 Nexus 5000 Series switches
across its development, user testing, and production environments. Travelport selected
the recently announced Cisco UCS C210 M1 solution for 88 rack servers, which have
proven to be highly reliable, a key requirement for the deployment.

“Our top priority in selecting a new data center server was reliability, since uptime of our
travel sites is critical,” says Senecal, “We’ve had 88 Cisco UCS C210 M1 and M2 rack
servers deployed for over a year now, and have experienced superior reliability, which
has been key to our business growth.”

Results
The flexibility of its new data center solution is enabling Travelport to respond rapidly to
new business needs. Senecal has calculated that Travelport is achieving the following
savings:
• Eight times savings on racking, cabling, server, network, and costs
• 86 percent savings in total support hours
• 70 percent savings in total power (kW) and cooling costs
• 86.5 percent savings in total data center floor space

“The Cisco Unified Computing System service profiles are a benefit to data center TTO
managers,” says Senecal. “We can create and store a unique identity for every blade.
Our team can query this information for asset management, and it enables us to truly rip
and replace a blade in minutes, if necessary.”
managers,” says Senecal. “We can create and store a unique identity for every blade.

Service profiles have also greatly enhanced IT’s ability to deploy applications quickly.
The Travelport team can automatically generate a blade identity before new blades
even arrive. Once the blade is installed, the identity is automatically populated, and the
server is in production. In December 2010, 218 new blades arrived for deployment.
Travelport’s Hardware Systems Management team installed 190 servers in six hours
and turned them over to the Global Server Engineering team. By the end of the third
day, the Global Server Engineering team had turned over 190 servers to the operating
system team. In the past, this would have taken many weeks to accomplish.
