gm2 Has Deployed Compellent SAN With VMware

gm2 Logistics
Ltd, a Greater London-based warehousing and logistics company, serving
the UK and Ireland, has reduced its data centre footprint, and
associated energy consumption, by more than 30 per cent following the
deployment of an energy-efficient SAN from
Compellent and server virtualisation technology from VMware.

The IT infrastructure at gm2 Logistics supports two central and
seven regional distribution centers that are responsible for
warehousing, trucking, shipping, and other services for one of the
largest paper merchants in the UK and Ireland.

The company’s ageing storage system had struggled to support growing
demand for capacity, yet maintaining availability across the company’s
80 servers was critical. To address this issue, gm2 Logistics turned to
storage and server virtualization from Compellent and VMware to
simplify data management and ensure business continuity.

 

Compellent’s SAN can help companies enhance the efficiency of
data storage and overcome the challenges created by unrestrained data
center growth. By combining technologies such as automated tiered
storage, thin provisioning and storage virtualization, Compellent helps
enterprises better use capacity and decrease storage costs, and
consequently minimizes the costs of powering, cooling and housing
equipment.

Andy Hardy, managing director of international sales at Compellent,
adds: "Through virtualization, companies can drastically reduce the
cost of their data center while also slashing the environmental impact
of running their data centers. Compellent’s storage virtualization
design and automated tiered storage, thin provisioning and continuous
snapshots are ‘must-haves’ for IT managers evaluating virtualization
strategies to reduce complexity and enable disaster recovery.
