Atlanta, Georgia; Munich, Germany; June 2, 2015: –Open-E, a leading developer of innovative data storage software used for building reliable NAS and SAN storage environments,today presented a new customer case featuring its proven Open-E DSS V7 (Data Storage Software V7).
Logistics provider DOM Kurier GmbH from Germany was looking to renew their existing IT infrastructure with acomprehensive solution that requireda significant increase in performance and storage capacity. As backup was currently running on one level only, the company required a cost-efficient solution for more redundancy. Also, the whole environment should be easyto scale and migrate to meet future demands.
The solution was planned and executed by DOM Kurier’s consulting system house and Open-E partner A-H-S Computer. They implemented an iSCSI solution with Fujistu PRIMERGY hardware and installed Fujitsu PRIMERGY TX2540 M1 systems with the latest version 6.5 of Citrix XenServer for virtualization. The main storage now consists ofFujistuPRIMERGY SX150 S8 servers based on Open-E DSS V7 storage software.
On software and replication levels, DOM Kurier’s infrastructure is now running on Open-E DSS V7 and Unitrends Virtual Backup Software which both provide redundancy and cold stand-by functionality. By mirroring all data with the replication feature in Open-E DSS V7, downtimes can be reduced to ensure business continuity. By using the cluster functionality, both hardware and software can be easily adjusted with Open-E’s workflows as business requirements grow.For the hardware setup, A-H-S Computer installed the latest components by Fujitsu and Bytec, which are both certified for Citrix XenSever.
Christian Oswald, CEO of DOM Kurier, confirmed the success of the project: „The basic idea behind the new processes was the increased requirements that logistic providers needed to fulfill. To be able to meet the quickly changing demands of customers, we were looking for an infrastructure that supports the workflow of our staff and doesn’t slow them down. This is why we need qualified IT partners who understand our needs and can convert them into operational structures immediately.”
