Focal Communications Is Wired for Success: With the Hitachi Freedom Storage Lightning 9900 Series
Overview Focal Communications Corporation needed a storage system that would offer them 24/7 availability, ease of management, and the ability to scale as their data grows. As a national phone company, they must be able to support a large amount of reporting for their corporate clients. The Hi-Star switched, cross-bar architecture of the Lightning 9960 was the ideal solution for Focal Communications. The revolutionary Hi-Star switch actually prevents bottlenecks and disruption in service by offering 64 internal paths-if one fails, 63 working paths remain. Focal Communications' future plans include leveraging the SAN connectivity of the Lightning 9960 to further reduce ROI and realize an enterprise backup solution that will employ Brocade Silkworm 2800 switches and a StorageTek L700 Tape Library.
