Founded by President Sen-Mei Cheng and his two
brothers in 1979, Taiwan Paiho Limited gained global recognition for its
Trihook touch fasteners. From traditional OEM to ODM, the Company has
greatly upgraded its R&D ability and is selling its products to the
world’s top 20 sport shoe brands. It has established a good reputation
in the global sporting goods market by continually creating new product
value and leading major brands by using innovative products. With
abundant experience in shoe, garment and medical material production,
the Paiho Group possesses manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, Wuxi, Dong
Guan and Vietnam. Additionally, the Group has established marketing
bases and warehouses in California, USA, and Barcelona, Spain.
ChallengesAs
the business of Paiho Group growing rapidly across countries, the
requirement of ease in IT infrastructure management emerged. It could be
denied that to manage an IT infrastructure covering from physical
cabling to logical routing and switching was actually not a matter that
could be consider as elementary, not to mention about the large scale of
Paiho Group, with numerous number of servers scattered at each of the
branches or production site, and tons of endpoint devices PC of
end-users. Hence, the main challenges here is to ensure the
manageability of the whole network infrastructure.
Sangfor SolutionSangfor
designed a new data center implementation plan with highly scalable
structure, flexible network design & ease of maintenance. The
versatility of the combination (Sangfor VDI & Sangfor HCI) has
gained customers the flexibility both on PC management as well as server
management side.
Sangfor HCISangfor
provided HCI as one of the solution in the newly built office of Paiho
Group, it helps converging the whole server farm into one single
platform. It does not only help in providing easier management but
increased in performance too, as there will be no more bottle neck for
data traverse from one to another. Besides, availability and usability
of the server could be ensured too, Sangfor HCI loaded with a High
Availability features which logically running a copy of the server on
another node of the Sangfor HCI cluster and it will fail-over to another
copy when one failed.
What’s
even better is the “What you think is what you get” feature which has
already being built-in from the Sangfor HCI, it allows administrator to
simply setup a data center by using the drag-and-drop screen as below.
Connecting cables and installing physical devices to a server rack will
be matter of past.


Sangfor VDIManageability
of employee’s desktop PC had been given a proper upgrade by
implementing Sangfor VDI. Each employee would be distributed with a thin
client to replace traditional desktop PC.
These
thin clients connect to the centralized virtual desktop. Employees’
desktops run virtually inside the server, only images are sent to the
thin client and present to the user. By doing so, manageability and
security could be enhanced, as there would be only one server to
maintain and secure.
