Chandler Macleod and DataCore

"When we first heard about the solution, we were understandably skeptical - it just sounded too good to be true," said John Walker, IT Programme Manager, Chandler Macleod. "But we did the due diligence and even spoke to some other customers using it, and everything came back positive. The installation went smoothly and we spent a weekend trying to break it, but it stood up to the hype. Our existing SAN had a limitation of 32 LUNs. By introducing SANmelody into our storage infrastructure, we are now able to separate physical storage LUNs and logical LUNs and break that barrier."
"We now have a storage solution that is as robust and flexible as the servers - including the virtual ones - that it serves." said Walker. "We did not have to invest heavily in storage hardware for future growth since we can add what we need, when we need it - despite which vendor we purchase it from. And when it does come time to refresh hardware, our storage practice will remain intact."
