Infinium Technologies announced today that it successfully completed a full Power 7 migration for Royal Caribbean (RCCL), a leading provider of cruise lines that sail to the most popular destinations in the Caribbean, Europe, Alaska, South America, Far East, Australia and New Zealand. The twenty-four month project involved migrating over 200 TB of storage and over 500 servers (including applications, databases) for old legacy hardware to IBM Power 795s. At the same time RCCL reduced data center foot print with Power7 Virtualization and completed a full Disaster Recovery (DR) site implementation.
RCCL trusted Infinium Technologies, Inc. because of their history and vast experience with Data Center Migrations as well as DR. Our project management team works hand in hand with not only the technical engineers but also the business application owners to limit the amount of down time during the migration.

The Project was not without challenges like involving all the Business Application owners around the world to make sure their needs were met during the migration.
