Case Studies
Amtico
For Amtico, a flooring company head quartered in Coventry, we deployed a solution consisting of asynchronously replicated NetApp FAS arrays, which leverage the SMB protocol for Windows file sharing and NFS for VMware vSphere.
Local and remote snapshots are used for the first tier of data protection which is complimented by Commvault backing-up to a NetApp E-Series SAN at each site for long term retention.
Butcher’s Pet Care
For Butcher’s, a pet food company headquartered in Northampton, we deployed a solution consisting of a NetApp AFF asynchronously replicated to a FAS array, which leverage the SMB protocol for Windows file sharing, and NFS and iSCSI for VMware vSphere.
Local and remote snapshots are used for the first tier of data protection and a NetApp E-Series SAN is used for long term retention of backups.
Murgitroyd
For Murgitroyd, an intellectual property company head quartered in Glasgow, we deployed a solution consisting of a NetApp AFF asynchronously replicated to a pair of FAS arrays, which leverage the SMB protocol for Windows file sharing and NFS for VMware vSphere along with local and remote snapshots for the first tier of data protection and recovery.
One Housing Group
For One Housing Group, a housing association headquartered in London, we deployed a single NetApp AFF which leverages the Fibre Channel and iSCSI protocols for VMware vSphere.
Local snapshots are used for a rapid first tier of backup and recovery, and Commvault is used for long term retention.
SThree
For SThree, a recruitment company head quartered in London, we deployed a solution consisting of asynchronously replicated NetApp AFF arrays, which leverage the SMB protocol for Windows file sharing, and iSCSI and NFS for VMware vSphere.
Local and remote snapshots are used for a rapid first tier of backup and recovery.
UniCredit
For UniCredit, a London based bank, we deployed a solution consisting of a synchronously replicated NetApp AFF MetroCluster, which leverages the SMB protocol for Windows file sharing. Local and remote snapshots are used for data protection and long term retention backups are taken using SnapVault to a mirrored pair of FAS arrays.
In addition, a number of AFF arrays have been deployed to support specific Windows and UNIX applications using the FC protocol.
Waltham Forest College
For Waltham Forest College, a higher education establishment located in London, we deployed a solution consisting of asynchronously replicated NetApp FAS arrays, which leverage the SMB protocol for Windows file sharing and NFS for VMware vSphere.
Local and remote snapshots are used for the first tier of data protection and further backups are provided by Veeam.
Wrekin Housing Group
For Wrekin Housing Group, a housing association head quartered in Telford, we deployed a solution consisting of a NetApp AFF asynchronously replicated to a FAS array, which leverage the SMB protocol for Windows file sharing, and NFS and iSCSI for VMware vSphere.
Local and remote snapshots are used for the first tier of data protection and long term retention is provided by Commvault, backing up to a NetApp E-Series SAN.
