When Boston heard of the issues regarding the current software, they recommended testing the ZFS- and Linux-based Open-E JovianDSS software with a trial version. And COMPRION was convinced immediately. The Software Defined solution with Open-E JovianDSS is based on an Open-E Certified Storage Server from Boston. Server & Storage Solutions. The Igloo 4U-24T-Stor consists of two Intel ®Xeon®processors E5-2630 v3 2.40GHz as well as 12 certified 8GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC registered. The raw capacity is 22TB. 10 VMware hosts were integrated via vSpere 5.5.
POLY-TOOLS contacted their long-time IT consultant – save IT first from Germany – who proposed a strategy with two new VMware ESX servers and a storage system. By co-operating with Open-E Gold Partner EUROstor from Filderstadt, who presented an active-active iSCSI cluster configuration based on Open-E DSS V7, the company would be able to cover all requirements.
