A public institution with CORE services that required a stronger technology foundation
A provincial decentralized autonomous government manages a growing volume of citizen information and institutional processes through its technology systems. Over time, the existing server infrastructure began to show limitations in capacity, performance, and availability, putting service continuity and compliance with regulatory requirements imposed by oversight authorities at risk.
Infodataserv — in its role as a certified Lenovo Partner and Synology Partner — designed and implemented a comprehensive solution that combined the deployment of new computing and backup infrastructure with the upgrade of technological components in the servers already installed.
Regulatory scope of the project: the institution needed to expand its capabilities for scalability, security, reliability, data integrity, and availability to maintain its CORE services in optimal conditions and comply with new reforms issued by Ecuadorian public-sector oversight authorities.
Four limitations that compromised institutional operations
Insufficient processing capacity
The existing servers could not meet the demands of institutional services, creating bottlenecks in information processing across the GAD's various operations.
Storage and backup without redundancy
The institution lacked a dedicated NAS backup solution, exposing institutional information to potential data loss caused by hardware failures.
Non-scalable infrastructure
The existing technology platform did not provide sufficient growth capacity to absorb the new requirements for digital services and public-sector regulations.
Regulatory compliance at risk
Reforms introduced by oversight authorities required standards for information availability and integrity that the existing infrastructure could not guarantee.
Two objectives that modernized the institution's technology foundation
Deploy a high-performance server platform (Lenovo SR630) and a backup NAS solution (Synology RS1221RP+) to increase the processing capacity, storage, and availability of institutional services through a scalable platform prepared for future growth.
Upgrade the technological components of the servers already installed to optimize their performance, extend their useful life, and ensure that CORE services continue operating with the levels of availability and reliability required by current regulations.
The five pillars that guided the design and implementation
-
High performance from day one: a server platform sized to support the current and projected workload of the GAD's institutional services
-
Scalability for future growth: an architecture that allows computing and storage capacity to be expanded without replacing the entire platform
-
Seamless integration: the new servers were integrated with the existing technology infrastructure while preserving service continuity throughout the implementation
-
Improved reliability and efficiency: upgrading components in the existing servers optimized performance without incurring the cost of replacing them entirely
-
Regulatory compliance ensured: the delivered solution meets the information availability, integrity, and security standards required by oversight authorities
Implementation and testing process carried out by Infodataserv
Infodataserv carried out the complete process, from upgrading the existing server to commissioning the new equipment, with operational tests confirming the proper functioning of each component before the formal delivery of the final technical report.
