X-IO Supports Shepherd Chemical’s Growth

X-IO Technologies (Xiotech Corporation) has underlined the capability of its ISE performance storage array to support long term business growth and its five-year relationship with Shepherd Chemical Company (SCC).

SCC has a vast and growing amount of mission critical data which needs to be accessed and shared on continual basis. SCC installed X-IO’s ISE solution five years ago as part of its move to an IT infrastructure. The ISE has since ensured BC for SCC during a period of rapid growth. It has also provided faster storage access, increased capacity and reduced bottlenecks.

Jerry Wessel, systems administrator, said: “The ISE solution allows for 100% capacity utilization without any compromise in performance. In the five years that the solution has been in place, we’ve had no issues. At this point, reliability is just assumed. I don’t worry about it.“

X-IO’s ISE delivers predictable and consistent performance for SCC, and reduces the need for IT staff to manage and watch over data.

Blair Parkhill, marketing VP, X-IO, said: “X-IO’s ISE technology takes care of itself, which is essential for organizations like SCC that are growing quickly but have limited manpower for network management. ISE has been proven once again to provide peace of mind through BC, as well as supporting the future needs of a growing business.“
