Protecting Customer Information and Improving Data Consistency | 2007-12-01 | Brocade Communications Systems |
| A major national bank faced critical data accessibility challenges. Its existing IT architecture was not originally designed to handle the volume of data it was being tasked with storing, serving, and protecting. As a result, bank employees faced longer-than-usual data access times, and even then could not always verify that the information was up to date. This led to longer customer service calls, longer lines in branch offices, and customer frustration with the bank's Web site. After auditing the IT environment, Brocade recommended that the bank deploy a series of Brocade Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solutions in its six data centers.

Server and Storage Landscape Virtualized and Consolidated | 2007-11-22 | Fujitsu Siemens Computers |
| The company wanted to have higher IT system availability and significant reduction in maintenance costs and IT administration overhead. It also wanted SAN extension for the existing server landscape. The challenge was to have storage and server virtualization and investment protection. One of the core elements of that foundation was the integration of the two server and storage virtualization solutions from VMware and DataCore, for which the company is using two PRIMERGY RX300 servers and two FibreCAT SX80 storage systems. SANmelody (category C) from the software vendor DataCore was deployed as the storage virtualization solution. This Windows-based solution ensures distribution of information from the storage pool on the two redundantly designed server systems and can be extended simply and flexibly at any time.
