Norwich University Consolidates Data Center and Storage, Gains Nearly $1.2 Million in Benefits With Complete HP Solution
Overview Norwich University wanted to consolidate its data center, increase and virtualize available storage, provide for off-site server/storage management, and provide robust, redundant and reliable access to computing resources 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The university deployed a SAN based on the Hewlett-Packard StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA5000 system), fused with NAS (Hewlett-Packard NAS 4000); and the award-winning, Hewlett-Packard ProLiant blade servers. This resulted into a projected, cumulative five-year net benefit of $1,162,271, driven by savings in support costs, the ability to provide services without downtime, and avoiding having to buy expensive, directly attached storage. An ROI of 487% and a payback period of 12 months.
