Germany based textile machine manufacturer Karl Mayer Malimo installed an iSCSI storage solution running on standard hardware powered by DataCore's SANmelody software. Kiefel Informationssysteme, an expert in IT system architectures, realized the solution would need more than a terabyte of low-cost storage, accessible from a central server over a standard LAN.
They wanted performance, ease-of-use and low cost; therefore, they chose a SANmelody iSCSI disk server. The scalable and high-speed solution provided this producer of textile machines with a cost-effective alternative to the more expensive Fibre Channel technology.
Tailor-made storage solution speeds backups and simplifies management.
A lack of data storage capacity, ever-expanding data volume size and shrinking backup windows led Karl Mayer Malimo to upgrade and centralize its storage. The DataCore solution prevailed over several NAS systems because it could scale and meet performance requirements. Kiefel was able to redesign and implement the complete project within three weeks, months sooner than they had anticipated.
"Faced with the multitude of IT tasks and the flexibility required, a central and scalable storage solution was absolutely critical," said Uwe Claus, CIO of Karl Mayer Malimo. "DataCore's SANmelody convinced us not only through its cost-effectiveness and the return we could see on our investment, but also by its wide array of features. Storage provision is automated,upgrades are independent of hardware, while backup and restore times were reduced many times over."
