Computacenter Case Study: Credit Suisse

Overview

Banking, like all large enterprises, faces a continual challenge - how to implement complex infrastructures that can cope with the relentless tide of data that needs to be stored, but without risking huge sums of money in the process. Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) came to terms with this issue when it set out to implement a storage solution to serve data to its equities division, and mirror this data to a disaster recovery center. CSFB decided that Storage Area Network (SAN) would offer the required levels of business continuity, so worked with Computacenter and their partners Sun, EMC, HDS and Compaq to define and evaluate a solution.
