Ernst Cozijnsen : “We practice what we preach�?

Ernst  Cozijnsen and John van der Sluis, two of my colleagues over at Capgemini Outsourcing presented at the VMWORLD EUROPE 2008 in Cannes. Their presentation is called “We practice what we preach�? and is all about the success story of implementing a Virtual Infrastructure as a Business Critical solution. By combining intimacy, industrialization and innovation Capgemini Outsourcing has set a footprint on the world of Virtual Infrastructures. Due to extensive research a new architectural vision was created for this Business Critical solution. This new architectural blueprint is based on multiple datacenter with architectural principles like pay-per-use, flexibility, scalability and standardization. With installing new and migrating existing customers this multi vendor infrastructure lead to a growth of over 1600% last year. With shared architectural building blocks a custom solution can now be realized for any environment and future challenges. Capgemini Outsourcing offers dual site and disaster recovery at a lower cost by creating a new version of on-demand scalability for new customer potential. (Picture from Viktor van den Berg)
