Level 3’s Software Spectrum Increases Performance, Uptime With StorageTek Disk System

Overview Level 3 Communications’ Software Spectrum depends heavily on its information storage systems. The core of the company’s business was housed in a Sybase database within a legacy Sun disk environment. As Software Spectrum’s business grew in size, problems grew in its storage environment. The company’s data center was experiencing frequent disk failures, some of which required rebuilding disk-based data from tape backup systems. The company determined that it needed a major upgrade in its storage environment to provide the highest levels of system reliability. They then selected a solution that is built around StorageTek D178 disk subsystem. This SAN solution has performed flawlessly and has had no downtime.
