Giving Schools Room to Grow | 2008-05-01 | Dell |
| Outdated, undersized storage unable to accommodate multimedia files hampered the educational mission of the Shanghai Community International Schools (SCIS), while time-consuming, failure-prone data backups required the schools to look for affordable, stable, and scalable storage that could be implemented during summer vacation. The SCIS IT staff worked with Dell to deploy high-capacity storage and backup platforms based on Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell PowerVault storage arrays at each campus. As a result the high-capacity storage and backup doubles the available storage and provides an estimated 98 percent reduction in recovery time.
