One of the Nation's Fastest-Growing Counties Selects Compellent SAN to Provide Robust Disaster Recovery for VMWare Server Environment.Minnesota's Scott County Scott County is the name of eleven counties in the United States of America:
MINNEAPOLIS -- Compellent Technologies, a provider of affordable and modular enterprise storage solutions, today announced Scott County, the fifteenth-fastest growing county in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , has selected Compellent's Storage Center[TM] storage area network (SAN) to provide reliable data access and a cost-effective remote replication solution for its VMWare servers VMware Server (formerly GSX Server) is an entry-level server virtualization software suite from VMware, Inc., a subsidiary of EMC Corporation. VMware released version 1.0 of Server on July 12, 2006. Server is a continuation of the retired GSX Server product line. . Newly released census figures show Scott County is the fastest growing county in the state of Minnesota and the fifteenth-fastest growing county in the United States out of more than 3100 total counties. To continue providing world-class services to its growing community of citizens, Scott County needed a scalable storage platform that could seamlessly integrate with its VMWare server environment and easily replicate VMWare instances offsite for robust disaster recovery. Because of the nature of the data it stores, including 911 audio files, crime scene photos and driver's license Noun 1. driver's license - a license authorizing the bearer to drive a motor vehicle driver's licence, driving licence, driving license license, permit, licence - a legal document giving official permission to do something information, Scott County needed reliable access around the clock and quick recovery in the event of a virus of disaster. "Using VMWare and Compellent together has helped us cut costs, reduce management time and respond quickly and easily to our changing server and storage needs," said Todd Croy, principal analyst for Scott County. "Compellent also allowed us to implement an affordable and robust data protection solution, significantly reducing the time it takes for us to recover." To ensure all of Scott County's data is protected in case of virus or other data hazard, Compellent Data Instant Replay takes scheduled snapshots of the VMWare servers throughout the day. Before implementing Compellent's Storage Center, it would take Scott County administrators eight to twelve hours to recover data. Now Scott County can simply revert back to a clean point in time and be up and running in minutes. Compellent's Remote Instant Replay provides Scott County with a cost-effective remote replication solution. Unlike other storage replication solutions, Compellent does not require identical configurations at both sites, allowing Scott County to configure their remote SAN with affordable SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. drives. Storage Center's native iSCSI interface further reduces replication costs, enabling Scott County to asynchronously replicate data twenty four hours a day over low cost IP lines. Administrators can easily verify replication success using Storage Center's intuitive interface and optimize bandwidth with Storage Center's unique bandwidth shaping Same as traffic shaping. algorithms.
