"Argeweb has achieved significant cost savings and productivity improvement since deploying virtualization-aware Navisphere Manager on CLARiiON. The solution simplifies the management of our virtual and information infrastructures," said Ruben van der Zwan, IT Manager at Argeweb. "The high availability and scalability of CLARiiON storage systems ensure that all our important customer data is available at all times. We've also seen considerable cost savings as a result of the automated spin-down functionality available on CLARiiON, reducing the power consumption associated with idle storage to a fraction of what it was."
Boston Medical Center is a private, not for profit, 626-licensed bed academic medical center. The hospital is the primary teaching affiliate for Boston University School of Medicine. Emphasizing community-based care, Boston Medical Center with its mission to provide consistently accessible health services to all is the largest safety net hospital in New England. BMC provides a full spectrum of pediatric and adult care services from primary to family medicine advanced specialty care and has the largest 24-hour Level 1 trauma center in New England.
"Boston Medical Center was challenged with the management complexities inherent to virtual environments -- namely a lack of visibility into our storage utilization, challenges with reporting, and a need for proactive alerts," said Joe Pesaturo, Storage Architect at Boston Medical Center. "Our CLARiiON storage system with virtualization-aware Navisphere Manager now provides us with detailed views of our virtual machines and automatically monitors our storage utilization. Additionally, CLARiiON UltraFlex technology has dramatically simplified management and lowered our costs, allowing us to tier applications within a single frame by leveraging FC, iSCSI, and storage virtual provisioning software for imaging applications."
Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, a full-service law firm with more than 600 attorneys in locations across the United States and an affiliate in London, is using virtualization-aware Navisphere Manager and energy efficiency technologies, such as disk spin-down.
"The CLARiiON storage environment, armed with Navisphere Manager and spin-down functionality, helped our organization more easily and cost-effectively manage our information and virtual infrastructures," said Alexander Diaz, Enterprise Development Manager at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP. "Spin-down helped us lower costs associated with our litigation and backup environments, where we have large volumes of data that are less frequently accessed. Navisphere Manager allows us to better manage the allocation of storage to virtual machines on our VMware platform from a centralized console."
