Requirement
SLR needed to refresh their storage platforms. Their main requirement was the fact that their storage needed to be performant for Virtual Machine workload.
Also, there was a large backup and archiving estate and MirrorSphere had to design and implement a solution that would allow for the customer to tier their data efficiently and backup remote branch offices.
The data needed to be secured and replicated offsite to allow disaster recovery.
Solution
On the back of a successful proof of concept, NetApp was chosen as the storage platform of choice.
The customer was able to house all data for intensive workloads and for their backup and archive estate across two storage platforms across two Data Centres.
This included;
- MirrorSphere Storage Design and Implementation Service
- NetApp Series Filers (Around 10TB SAS, 27TB SATA)
- Remote SnapVault (Backup for ~30 remote offices)
- SnapMirror between sites
