My Project Role:

IT Architect

Business Problem: End-of-life tape libraries in the shared backup environment necessitated consolidation and modernization to maintain reliability and cost efficiency.

Project Scope: Analyzing the existing backup environment to identify inefficiencies and solution a modernization strategy to improve performance, transparency, and cost optimization.

  • Introducing a secondary backup copy system, enhancing data resilience while simultaneously reducing backup cost rates by 30%

  • Separating IBM i® and Open Systems (OpenSys) backups to improve Cost Pools transparency and streamline reporting.

  • Making a key architectural decision to invest in two TS4500 four-frame libraries ($0.5M CAPEX), ensuring scalability and enhanced performance for the modernized backup environment.
