BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Core DataCloud used a variety of storage systems to support its service offerings. Recently, the company’s accelerating growth made it consider next-generation scale-out infrastructure in the form of EMC Isilon.
“With the other systems, we were supporting 20 TB of client data. Today, we are supporting over 100 customers and over 100 TB of data. We recognized the need for new technologies that would be easily scalable to meet future growth and support excellence in backup and recovery private cloud hosted services,” says Sharad Saggar, CEO, Core DataCloud.
Increasing demand on infrastructure also required higher performance to meet customer SLAs. Core DataCloud was committed to a two- to four-hour recovery time objective (RTO). However, the company was experiencing challenges.
“What we required was transformational technology that provided the performance required to meet or exceed our SLAs; that would quickly scale to meet ever-increasing data growth; and that would give us the agility, flexibility, and ease of management to supply solutions to new customers quickly.”
