Challenge
A large New Caledonian government agency needed to modernize its storage infrastructure. For years, it had been storing over 300TB of data SANs at two production sites. Its legacy storage solutions, however, were aging and relied on traditional spinning disks.
The agency wanted to increase the performance and capacity of its storage infrastructure. Doing so would future-proof its storage to keep pace with new applications and growing volumes of data that needed to be saved. It decided that all-flash arrays would meet its needs, but only if the solutions were cost-effective.
The agency also was concerned about future support for its IBM Tivoli Storage Manager it deployed for data backup and recovery. As a result, it sought a new solution to protect its data.
The agency issued a public tender for its needs and companies like IBM, Nimble Storage, and Dell responded. The customer already used an AC&NC JetStor 1600S NAS platform, so Muneris thought it could make a superior offer by partnering with AC&NC (Advanced Computer & Network Corporation).
“AC&NC proved once again that value and performance are universal winners, even on islands in the Pacific Ocean,” said Florian Falconnet, co-manager, Muneris IT Consulting.
