Brocade®, networked storage solution provider
announced that Melbourne IT has selected Brocade to streamline connectivity at
its disaster recovery sites and increase the scalability of the Web and
application hosting solutions provided under its WebCentral Corporate brand.
Using Brocade 48000 Directors and Brocade Services, and working in close
collaboration with Brocade OEM Partner IBM, Melbourne IT updated its Storage
Area Network (SAN) infrastructure to scale up to meet the anticipated growth in
the company's managed hosting business.
As a national service provider to corporate and
government clients, WebCentral Corporate required the infrastructure capacity
to scale up or down quickly to meet dynamic customer demands. At the same time,
it needed a robust hardware solution to provide connectivity between its main
data center and a separate disaster recovery site, both for internal business
purposes and for ensuring uptime for its customers. Melbourne IT chose Brocade
for its routing capabilities, cross-site connectivity solutions for disaster
recovery and proven networked storage expertise-from pre-sales and
implementation to certification, training and investment protection. Brocade
Services played a key role in the project, providing an onsite Brocade
consultant to implement the solution and conduct regular SAN checks while
auditing and monitoring performance.
