“Although we were successfully meeting customer needs, the infrastructure needed
to be much more scalable and resilient to handle the demand expected to occur in
the next few years,” says Steven Senecal, manager of Global Server Engineering
for Travelport.

Solution
The networking and server teams worked to begin closing the gap between the network
and server infrastructures. They created a new network and server plan based on
a Cisco Unified Computing System™ powered by Intel 5500 and 5600 series Xeon
processors and Cisco Nexus® Series Switches and with the assistance of Cisco’s
services implemented a proof of concept.

“Cisco provided our Atlanta data center with a Cisco Unified Computing System chassis
and a significant amount of expertise,” says Gregory G. Sheperd, director, Network
Infrastructure and Security. “The Cisco Unified Computing System Manager and service
profiles were huge selling points and a significant technology change for us.”

Travelport also preferred the Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 processor platforms, because
the Intel platform is best suited to the company’s development needs and the
company had a strong relationship with Intel. Intel Xeon processors 5600 series are
the next generation of intelligent server processors. They automatically regulate power
consumption to combine industry-leading energy efficiency with intelligent performance
that adapts to each workload. With the Intel Xeon processor and Cisco® Unified
Computing System, Travelport achieved a visible improvement in the number of VMs
deployed per core for record-breaking scalability.

Travelport also chose Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches. The Cisco Nexus switches
allow Travelport to aggregate Cisco Unified Computing System links efficiently and
achieve a 10GB-capacity backbone. They also support virtualization through virtual
device contexts (VDCs). VDCs combine groups of dedicated software processes with
dedicated hardware to provide virtualized control and data planes within an independent
management context.

“The Nexus VDCs will allow us to segment web and application tiers into virtual devices
based on business need, with context-level fault isolation and management,” says
Cliff Forrester, manager of Network Engineering for Travelport. “This will further optimize
power consumption, space requirements, and, ultimately, service speed.”

Travelport had an established relationship with Presidio Networked Solutions, a Cisco
Gold Certified Partner, for providing technical support and expertise. As Travelport
prepared for its first Cisco Unified Computing System deployment, it engaged Presidio
to provide planning and engineering services. Travelport also worked with Intel to
engage Cisco Services for assistance with configuring the systems.

“There was great partnership between Intel and Cisco as they teamed to help ensure
the success of our initial implementation,” says Senecal. “We initially deployed 180
chassis, and their help was instrumental.”
