Modernization of the IT infrastructure of the Yuriy Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center

Problem

The Yuriy Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center is one of a handful of cosmonaut training centers. To ensure that it provides the best training, it's vital that data be stored in a reliable manner, high-performance hardware and software be used, and all IT services run without interruptions. 

STEP LOGIC's objectives

• Create the main and back data processing centers featuring automatic testing of copies and multitier backup of virtual machines.
• Upgrade the IT infrastructure and the ETMDS system for the provision of limited access training materials.
• Build virtual workstations for cosmonauts using VDI technologies with isolated security perimeters.

Features

• Full upgrade of the hardware of the data processing center.
• 100% virtualization of capacity and replication of virtual machines.
• Replacement of hardware, including hard drive arrays without interruption in the services.
• The VDI platform creates a 3D model of the cabin of a spacecraft and simulates all tactile sensations that a cosmonaut experiences when interacting with the equipment of a space station.
