Cuisines Schmidt Goes Virtual With IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller for Flexible, Cost-Effective Storage

Overview Cuisines Schmidt is the French leader in the manufacture of fitted kitchens and bathrooms. The existing Storage Area Network (SAN) - supplied by a leading storage vendor - was at full capacity, did not allow systems to be restored quickly enough, and was not effectively disaster-proofed. The company selected the solution from IBM: a new SAN built around IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) and two IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Servers (ESS 800). The advantage of the IBM solution was that it offered virtualised storage. SVC gives Cuisines a single view of all our storage, and enables them to, quickly add new capacity of practically any kind.
