Case Study - iSCSI based solutions instead of Expensive SAN

 

Existing Situation

TBS were approached by a major UK brand experience specialist for implementation of SAN. As they were growing, needed a shared storage that can be used by different application and machines.

 

Problem Statement & Solution Offered

The client contacted big names in industry for providing SAN solution but all those solutions were too costly and time consuming for them. The storage was to be used for shared files system and as block devices for virtualised guest machines running on hyper-visor. The whole idea was to implement a solution which is less in cost, high in performance and open-source. TBS engineers gathered information and analysed to check the resources, effort and time required in the implementation process. Two raid arrays were configured to cater for different purposes. LVM was configured on top of those raid arrays. A TBS engineer installed and configured IET as an enterprise level target server to act as a SAN. Several testing was done to check the performance.

 

Achieved Business Goals

  • Total ownership cost
  • Updated System
  • Completely Open Source Solution
  • No need to buy another hardware if you want to upgrade to latest version
  • No need to pay extra licensing fees if user wants to increase resources on the existing system
  • No need to pay extra dollars for security patches
  • No special training/skills needed to manage the technology
