ARMONK, N.Y. -- IBM today announced that Bristol West Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BRW) has built a storage area network (SAN) using powerful disk, virtualization and software technologies from IBM to increase data availability, reduce costs and maintain consistent disaster recovery operations.
Bristol West, a leading provider of liability and physical damage insurance for private passenger automobiles across the United States, offers a comprehensive range of automobile insurance coverage at competitive prices. Bristol West needed a storage infrastructure supporting high availability and a reliable disaster recovery solution in the event of a failure at their primary data center.
Headquartered in Davie, Florida, Bristol West turned to IBM for a storage solution providing a tiered infrastructure that could help address the companys business needs. The company chose an IBM SAN that included midrange storage servers and storage virtualization software to replace its current HP disk solution.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
