AirClic, Inc., a provider of mobile information services, needed a high-performance storage environment for growing a highly transactional Oracle database requiring continuous uptime. The company implemented a tiered PS Series SAN, with tier one dedicated to the database while tier two stores data for email, files, and other databases.
"Tiered storage is a really big win for us – we just plug it in, and anything we need will migrate there automatically. We can scale independently according to our needs."
- Andy Monroe, Vice President of Technology, AirClic, Inc.
