Overview The Marshall Group is one of the UK's leading privately-owned engineering and automotive organisations. The Challenge for Marshall Group was to manage unprecedented business growth by creating a robust, scalable and cost-effective storage environment. The IBM solution, selected by Marshall Motor Group and designed by REAL Solutions, is based around two data centres, each containing IBM eServer pSeries 650 servers and an IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) with 2TB peer-to-peer remote copy and IBM FlashCopy. The IBM solution is offering Marshall Group with great flexibility and enormous potential for growth; easy management of storage and backup; improved resilience and disaster recovery capabilities.
