The second seminar of its kind in Slovakia organised by the company Hitachi Data Systems once again attracted more than 100 experts on issues of data storage and archiving. As part of the programme, Alexander Loži, Solution Architect in PosAm, together with Michal Tóth from SSE, acquainted participants with the implementation and migration of the high-end storage solution that PosAm crafted for SSE.
The solution shortened the time-to-market in SSE for new applications and services, cut the TCO of IT infrastructure, greatly increased disk capacity, produced faster and more efficient equipment, and increased the robustness of SAN infrastructure. New modern functionalities provided a whole range of benefits. More flexible planning and more effective designation of disk capacity thanks to Thin provisioning. The option of creating a backup of the data of critical systems using the functionality Snapshots. Simple use of the capacities of old disk fields by simplifying the process of migration during full operation, which enables massive virtualisation. Greater output, stability and availability of capacity thanks to Cache Logical Partition Resource (CLPR).
A top storage solution on a base of technologies of the company Hitachi Data Systems provided SSE with a high performance and availability solution with guaranteed access to data under any circumstance. Advanced virtualisation technology increased the degree of effectiveness in the use of disk capacity and simplified data management. The modern infrastructure also facilitated faster provision of services dependent on disk capacity.
