EMC Corporation announced that the State of
Indiana’s Office of Technology has consolidated its information infrastructure
on EMC Symmetrix VMAX, an enterprise storage, with Fully Automated Storage
Tiering for Virtual Pools (FAST VP).

 

The State selected the EMC solution to support its
mission-critical applications and has improved the performance, efficiency and
cost-effectiveness of its datacenter operations.

 

“EMC storage is incredibly reliable, so when we
decided to consolidate our existing systems onto a single, tiered enterprise
platform, Symmetrix VMAX was the platform we trusted. It has helped us transform
the way we manage our storage infrastructure in a cost effective manner while
improving the quality of our services. With EMC’s sophisticated replication
technologies, such as SRDF and RecoverPoint, we trust that we’d be able to
recover all of our critical applications at our remote site if a disaster were
to significantly damage our infrastructure,” said Jim Rose, Enterprise
Architect and Manager, Storage Services, Indiana Office of Technology.

 

State of Indiana has consolidated four systems onto one
powerful Symmetrix VMAX, increasing its total capacity by 30 percent while
reducing the number of disk drives it needs in half.  Using fewer disk
drives has helped us reduce our power and cooling demand by more than 50
percent, which has reduced our power and cooling costs tremendously.

 

EMC ranks as the number one storage choice for Oracle,
Microsoft and other mission critical environments according to a new
global end user survey by IDC. The survey ranks storage vendors based on
customer deployment patterns within the most widely-used enterprise
applications. According to the IDC report, more customers choose EMC storage
than any other vendor’s for their SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Exchange and
SharePoint, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Home Directories environments.

 

The State also deployed a second VMAX for disaster
recovery at a second data center located in southern Indiana.
Additionally, it uses EMC replication solutions, such as SRDF, TimeFinder,
RecoverPoint, HomeBase and Replication Manager for business continuity.

 

Earlier this year, EMC Corporation announced full
technology support, services and the industry’s most comprehensive integration
with the its VMware cloud infrastructure suite including VMware vSphere 5,
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5, and VMware vCloud Director 1.5 at
general availability.
