Standard Insurance Company: Optimizes Storage Resources With HiCommand Device Manager Software and the Hitachi Freedom Storage Lightning 9960 System

Overview As a leading provider of group insurance and retirement plans, Standard Insurance Company (The Standard) advises its customers to limit their exposure to risk. Before upgrading to the Lightning 9960, The Standard was trying to support a rapidly growing business with several different systems running on a Microsoft Windows 2000 platform. These systems struggled to keep pace with The Standard's growth and as a result, the company began experiencing a decline in data-recovery performance levels. The Hitachi Freedom Storage hardware and software upgrades enabled The Standard to manage, distribute, and re-deploy larger volumes of storage capacity-to both anticipate and respond to the changing needs of its business units.
