whitepaper NETGEAR Case Study: Edith Meyer Wedding Cakes0000-00-00 Netgear
  Although flour and sugar are the most obvious ingredients of a small business like Edith Meyer Wedding Cakes, data also plays an important role. From recipes and digital photos of each original creation to client information, billing and contracts, Edith Meyer relies on the survival and safety of their data. The risk of losing that data is why Edith Meyer decided to make the leap from single USB hard drive storage to Network Attached Storage (NAS). Edith Meyer was looking for active storage with the added safety of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent or Inexpensive Disks). ReadyNAS NV+ was a cost-effective way for Edith Meyer to get data redundancy without the performance detriment of software RAID.

whitepaper Hewlett-Packard Case Study: Microsoft Internal Internet Service Provider0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  The Microsoft Internal Provider delivers Internet Service Provider (ISP) services to internal clients. To rapidly accommodate increased usage, Microsoft Internal Provider found it necessary to add storage to existing servers or acquire more servers. Such an approach created additional management complexity and did not provide the long-term solutions they were looking for. In order to achieve greater scalability and manageability, Microsoft Internal Provider wanted to move to a model where Web server content could be consolidated into a centralized storage solution. They explored the possibility of a SAN, but instead chose a Hewlett-Packard Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution powered by the Windows Storage Server 2003, because it was the most cost effective, scalable and easy-to-manage option.
