Hewlett Packard Enterprise InfoSight Delivers Mission-Critical Support for Motorola Solutions
By using HPE InfoSight, Motorola Solutions is reducing the outages or downtime for its customer sites, and improve on their support time.
Delivering high availability of its systems is a critical factor for Motorola Solution's command centre emergency dispatch customer base.
The command and control solution currently caters for more than 1,000 system deployments as well as 90 mission critical deployments globally, including Australia's 000 emergency dispatch centre and the United States' 911.
Speaking at HPE Discover in Madrid, Motorola Solutions manager of infrastructure and design team, Joe Ben Slivka, explained how the business extensively uses HPE's InfoSight in order to meet the requirements for mission critical systems, building from the storage level up to ensure proper system performance.
“The systems need to be high performing and we use InfoSight pretty extensively," Slivka said."One of the advantages we have is that we’re running the same workloads distributed globally and each one of these centres are all designed to be autonomous in case there’s a major disaster or failure of any systems."
HPE InfoSight uses artificial intelligence to predict and prevent problems as well as provide context-aware data management. During the conference, the vendor also introduced new updates to InfoSight through expanding it into workload management and adding machine learning capabilities such as cross-stack recommendations for HPE Nimble Storage, providing an AI-driven guidance across the infrastructure stack.
The AI-driven resource planner allows companies to optimise workload placement while performance insights for HPE 3PAR reduce the time spent on troubleshooting through machine learning to self-diagnose performance bottlenecks.
From a development standpoint, Slivka said it was important to conduct performance analysis and develop patterns that it expects to actually see in-field, and recognise issues before they reach the customer site.
Slivka also said that Motorola Solutions is using InfoSight to examine what they're doing in the storage layer as well as the full stack of VMs [virtual machines], and adjusting that before the customer has any problems on-site.
By using HPE InfoSight, Motorola is reducing the outages or downtime for its customer sites, and improve on their support time, and as added bonus, Motorola experienced 100 per cent uptime on its storage since it began using InfoSight.
