Infrastructure Management White Papers
The Show Must Go On
Overview Built in 1971, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts sprawls gracefully over 17 acres on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. A living monument to human artistic achievement, this legendary facility hosts countless theater, music, and multimedia productions each year, while welcoming some 2 million audience members. In addition, the Kennedy Center Web site (www.kennedy-center.org) regularly attracts more than 30,000 visitors each day with its downloadable performance recordings, online ticket sales, and other useful resources. Growing popularity recently placed the Kennedy Center smack in the middle of an IT crunch. The facility needed a way to tackle numerous new infrastructure demands-including a need for greater storage capacity and availability-without sacrificing performance and without increasing budget or management resources. The organization's data was growing by 30 percent annually and could expand even faster in the coming years. Well satisfied with its existing Dell hardware and services, the center's IT staff opted to implement a DellEMC CX600 enterprise storage platform as a scalable and efficient solution to its storage needs.
