    Manufacturer of diagnostic products replaces existing A-brand storage environment with Open-E DSS V7

    HUMAN Gesellschaft für Biochemica und Diagnostica is a manufacturer of high-quality diagnostic reagents and analytical systems. They sell their products worldwide and because of their wide network of customer they required a significant capacity extension and also an update of their storage environment in general. Taking into consideration that increasing thier A-brand infrastructure would mean going far beyond their established budget, thay started looking for a more affordable solution that would at the same time fullfill all their requirements regarding high availability for their virtual machines based on VMware. EUROstor, Open-E Platinum Partner, suggested them to implement a 10 GbE NFS Active-Active Cluster, consisting of two of EUROstor’s proven ES-8772 systems with Open-E DSS V7 Data Storage Software and that was exactly what HUMAN needed.

    „Thanks to EUROstor and Open-E we now have the perfect replacement for our previous A-brand storage environment: fast, high-performing and cost-efficient. Set it up and it’s running – we are absolutely content with it.“

    IT support and Cloud provider implements flexible and secure solution for increased performance

    Simplicity Tech is an IT support and Cloud techonlogy provider who also has been working with Open-E products since years. Their most critical demand was flexibility, increased storage capacity and most importantly, protection of data stored in their different geographical locations. They have decided for Open-E JovianDSS  as it allowed them to create thin-provisioned storage pools with a minimum amount of hardware initially, plus the storage capacity could be extended whenever such demand occured.

    „We are absolutely satisfied with the implementation of the Open-E Cluster solution. Since the migration to the JovianDSS environment we have noted a 50% increase in performance for all the customers that we host. With this solution, we can see the storage growing and rest assured that in case we require more capacity, it will be just a matter of plugging in another storage chassis with an additional storage pool, not risking any downtime.”
