Bribus Keukens, one of the Netherlands’ top three kitchen manufacturers, dramatically eliminated performance bottlenecks and enabled scalability without downtime with an EqualLogic PS Series SAN.
"Pretty much everything is included in the price of our SAN, in particular the software used to divide data, create and manage snapshots, replicate data, clone volumes and manage the I/O. Other vendors force you to buy additional licenses for these functionalities."
- Wim Diersen, Financial Manager, Bribus Keukens
Challenge
The IT infrastructure of Bribus suffered from a number of bottlenecks, including chronically insufficient disk space for Microsoft Exchange and an inability to expand storage capacity in the existing JBOD (“just a bunch of disks”) RAID arrays
Solution
All data is now centralized on an EqualLogic PS100E storage array. Also, the servers boot from the SAN, thus decreasing downtime in case of server failure or server replacement.
