File server integration and associated high-speed backup to serve 3,000 in-house users

Do you have any difficulties in backing up data distributed within your enterprise as a result of implementing end user computing?

For such problems, NEC Storage can offer solutions such as presented in this case example.

Consultation Problems prior to implementation
Approximately 50 file servers exist that are dedicated for each of the departments for the purpose of end user computing. It was found that data backup operations could not be assured because backup services are also placed under the responsibility of user departments. A system should be implemented that can assure reliable data backup operations.

Solution Solutions and effects

  • About 50 department file servers are integrated to form a non-disruptive system with three-node cluster configuration. In addition, database functions are integrated into a mid range disk array, the NEC Storage series 2000 system, for realizing unified backup operations. As a result, the number of backup service personnel required is reduced from a minimum of 50 to only a few staff members, also realizing an environment that can assure reliable backup services.
