In Phase 1, EMI consolidated roughly 100 EMI sites hosted at the two largest providers by moving those Web environments to the new Web infrastructure at Rackspace. The project team built out two fully redundant IIS Web farms, a high-availability SQL 2000 database cluster, load-balanced .Net application servers and one-plus terabytes of online storage for digital assets, Brady says. The number of servers remains consistent at 19, but Rackspace has standardized on high-end Dell PowerEdge servers that give EMI “tremendous overall improvement in performance and scalability” over the old servers, Brady says.
