Aussie juice company keeps offices connected
Berri Ltd, which claims to be Australia's largest fresh juice producer and the leading importer of juice to over 20 countries, has chosen a storage solution that keeps its 1100 employees in eleven different locations connected all of the time.
Berri Ltd chose DataCore's SANsymphony to manage its IBM storage network systems so that data could be controlled more easily on remote sites.
SANsymphony's disaster recovery system protects the company's data by maintaining identical remote site copies over standard IP networks.
George Despinoudis, the data centre manager for Berri, said: "Replication of our data to our Disaster Recovery site has been achieved with a low cost solution that can remain in place long after we retire hardware.
"DataCore software just works. User request for extra disk space are easily achieved and only take minutes, regardless of it being Fibre Channel or iSCSI."
Ross Bradley, the CIO at Berri, added: "DataCore opened up our choices on what storage and networking we could use; we were able to future-proof our architecture so we can absorb newer technologies as they make sense to incorporate. Synergy Plus provided the know-how and together we were able to implement a solution that met our technical and budget needs."
One of the main advantages of this system that attracted Berri was its ability to serve disk space to different application systems without incurring the downtime needed to add physical disks.
