whitepaper A Study in Storage: K-12 Storage Consolidation and Backup0000-00-00 NetApp
  South Country School District encompasses six schools and administrative offices spread over 16 square miles of Long Island, NY. Three key issues faced the district: the number of servers was becoming a management problem; the servers were nearing the end of their useful life; and the backup window was becoming unmanageable. It quickly became obvious that all of the district's storage issues could be resolved with the StoreVault S500. Storage could be dynamically allocated to user groups as required without disruption; it provided both NAS and iSCSI SAN connectivity out of the box, therefore consolidating aging servers and reducing management costs; and the NetApp Snapshot technology would dramatically improve the backup process.

whitepaper Storage Consolidation With the Dell PowerVault MD3000i iSCSI Storage2007-09-01 Dell
  The PowerVault MD3000i is a cost effective, simple to manage iSCSI storage array that can be used to consolidate the storage of several servers, providing higher storage utilization, integrated snapshots and a single management interface. To demonstrate this, the application storage requirements of five servers were built on a PowerVault MD3000i with 45 disks. The five applications running on the servers were then exercised with load drivers for an 8-hour period. Additionally, two incremental backups were made against the passive Exchange node during the run.
