Storage Management White Papers

One of Oregon's Largest Counties Deploys Equallogic

Tags:
storage management

Overview Clackamas County, Oregon, is home to more than 338,000 people. Heavily timbered, the county's geographical features include Mt. Hood and numerous rivers - the Willamette, Clackamas, Sandy, Pudding, Molalla and Salmon. The Aging Fibre Channel SAN could not scale to meet growing demands. Clackamas County replaced old Fibre Channel SAN with modular PS Series SAN for central storage consolidation and data protection. It attached stray servers to the SAN, eliminating all direct attached storage.
