A customer has an aging storage array that must be replaced. The array is used by VMware hosts in their data center. The storage array is under warranty, but the hosts are all out of warranty. The customer wants new hardware running Horizon 7, and is open to a hyperconverged solution. The project must take place with minimal-to-no disruption during normal business hours. The CIO states there is a maximum budget of $600, 000 for the project. The IT Director says their UPS units were replaced last year and they don’t need to be updated. The existing racks are heavily populated, with limited rack units remaining and no additional datacenter floorspace for another rack
