Future-Proof' SAN Provides Superior, Cost Effective Alternative to SSA for Imperial Tobacco Australia

Overview An SAP system upgrade prompted Imperial Tobacco Australia Ltd, a top-three Australian tobacco company, to radically upgrade its data storage capability.

After assessing the available alternatives, Imperial Tobacco decided on Hitachi Data Systems Thunder 9200 to handle Imperial Tobacco's storage needs based upon various technical, economic and operational considerations.
