Law Firm Jackson, DeMarco, Tidus and Peckenpaugh Chooses EtherDrive Storage by Coraid

Coraid
Inc. announced that Jackson,
DeMarco, Tidus and Peckenpaugh P.C. a law firm based in Orange
County, CA, selected EtherDrive
storage to support its VMware virtual server deployment.

Previously, JDTP relied on a legacy
storage system to support its virtual server environment. As its
storage capacity needs grew, the IT manager, Gary Sullenger, realized
the solution was complex and expensive to maintain. He set out to
find a solution capable of ensuring a flexible and reliable SAN at a
competitive price. After evaluating a range of solutions, Gary
implemented a Coraid EtherDrive no-single-point-of-failure solution
synchronously mirroring two EtherDrive SRX storage units.

"We looked at a few other
solutions but didn’t find any vendor that could come close to
competing with what Coraid had to offer with its EtherDrive storage,
especially as it relates to improving reliability, bringing down
costs, and simplifying set-up, management and scaling," said
Sullenger.

EtherDrive is a distributed
storage system that provides enterprises of all sizes with flexible
storage while eliminating the complexity of traditional SAN
solutions. With its scale-out architecture and Ethernet connectivity,
it delivers lower OPEX while offering FC performance at
commodity-hardware economics. Its simplicity, price-performance and
just-in-time scalability make EtherDrive suited to modern virtualized
data-center environments.

"Coraid helps make shared
storage for virtual servers easier to deploy and grow," said
Carl Wright, executive VP of WW sales for Coraid. "No other
approach to storage can match the scale and flexibility EtherDrive
storage provides. It offers a compelling alternative to traditional
legacy storage vendors, especially for virtualization and cloud
architectures."
