McDATA Storage Network Ensures NuTec Energy's Market Leadership Position With Constant Availability to Vital Information.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 2003 Seismic Processing Leader Triples Processing Volume by Migrating from DAS to McDATA SAN Solution McDATA Corporation (Nasdaq:MCDTA) (Nasdaq:MCDT MCDT Micro Credit Development Trust SACCO (Uganda microfinance) MCDT Microsoft Certified Desktop Technician ), the expert provider of multi-capable storage networking solutions, in cooperation with value-added reseller A value-added reseller (VAR) is a company that adds some feature(s) to an existing product(s), then resells it (usually to end-users) as an integrated product or complete "turn-key" solution. Levi, Ray & Shoup, has implemented a storage area network (SAN) at NuTec Energy Services' Houston, Texas “Houston” redirects here. For other uses, see Houston (disambiguation). Houston (pronounced /'hjuːstən/) is the largest city in the state of Texas and the , facility. NuTec Energy offers data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a interpretation and visualization solutions to the oil and gas industry. The company analyzes massive data sets in the range of one to 20 terabytes, which demands very high input/output (I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output ) cycles to feed its mainframe computer processors. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. NuTec Energy, the McDATA SAN implementation has delivered a three-fold processing performance increase at a fraction of the cost of its previous DAS solution. NuTec Energy also achieved a 95-percent increase in the company's throughput capacity with its McDATA SAN solution. To accomplish this, NuTec Energy replaced its direct-attached storage Direct-attached storage (DAS) refers to a digital storage system directly attached to a server or workstation, without a storage network in between. It is a retronym, mainly used to differentiate non-networked storage from SAN and NAS. (DAS) topology with a McDATA storage network based on its Intrepid(TM) 6140 Director. "Our ability to process data three times the rate we were before the SAN deployment directly impacts our bottom line," said Mike Keehan, president of NuTec Energy. "That's a very significant return on investment, considering the cost of the McDATA solution was one-tenth that of our legacy infrastructure. We can deliver better and faster service to our customers at lower prices than our competitors. I think that makes us a market leader in our space." "For companies whose business relies upon high I/Os, McDATA SAN solutions have been proven to lower costs and boost operational efficiencies," said Mike Gustafson, senior vice president of marketing, McDATA. "NuTec Energy is a prime example of how a McDATA storage network solution can help yield substantial increases to the bottom line and give companies of all sizes a significant business advantage."
