Virtualization
combined
the best of
both worlds!

CUSTOMER REFERENCES:
“IMPROVE OPERATION EFFICIENCY”
 Customer: Ergotron, Inc.
 Customer contact: Jim Fischer (VP of IS)
 Problem: Jim has budgeted Q108 also but ran out of space running their
Oracle E-Business suite. Note, to wait for budget approval and shipping
equipment, this can be an easy 6 months waiting period
 Solutions:
– To help save spaces, in the Oracle application development platform which
running on VMware, PS series unique technology allows them to re-claim
spaces by simply online modify the snapshot space settings to a much smaller
spaces
– Secondly, because they still needed more room, PS Series unique technology
allows them to online dynamically changed the hardware-level RAID setting
from RAID10 to RAID50
 Benefits: Not only Jim got extra storage room for immediate needs, they
also noticed that there are no performance degradation! To many
customers, this level of flexibility of being able to make storage decision
and yet be able to change/switch decision at any time is 100% unique in
the entire storage industrial.

LINUX HPCC IMPLEMENTATION
 In US – Weinman GeoScience Inc., a consulting services group to the oil
and gas industry in Dallas and Houston
http://www.weinmangeoscience.com/
http://www.equallogic.com/uploadedFiles/Resources/Customer_Success_Briefs/SC103_WeinmanGeo.pdf
– Supports a cluster of 250 AMD dual-core Linux nodes connected to 100TB of
raw iSCSI storage on 15 PS Series arrays. The iSCSI storage is served up by
four Sun Solaris NFS servers. This one app makes up 60% of Weinman
GeoSciences’s business of process seismic data. Today, Weinman's
infrastructure includes two data centers. The first consists of two Linux
clusters (90 nodes), five PS Series arrays supporting a three-node Sun
Solaris™ cluster, and two NAS units. In the second data center there are
three Sun Solaris servers, five SCSI RAID arrays, and multiple tape drives
 The iSCSI SAN was “very easy to scale, and reliability and performance
has been excellent,” says Richard Smith. Retired an FC infrastructure
in favor of an all-iSCSI SAN
 Comment from Richard Smith:
– “Dell EqualLogic’s iSCSI solution had a low introductory price point, but it wasn't
the cheapest solution in town. The performance of the firm's Dell EqualLogic system
RAID 50 storage has been remarkable, consistently reaching 100 [megabytes] to 150
megabytes per second from each of our four groups of three or four arrays"

“We chose EqualLogic’s PS Series storage arrays, which offer us a cost-effective solution that
requires little on-going management. Our IT team can now focus on other priorities, including the
continual enhancement of content and applications, which is critical for our success as a business in
the digital world. This type of near-zero configuration is unheard of with other iSCSI players in the
market; it’s clear that EqualLogic operates on a customer-driven level”
