Apr 27, 2005 : Law Firm Deploys EqualLogic Storage

📅 April 27, 2005 - EqualLogic (equallogic.com), a provider of storage area network solutions, announced on Tuesday that Detroit-based law firm Dickinson Wright deployed its PS200E storage arrays as the primary storage platform for its data center infrastructure. Dickinson Wright migrated its previous direct attached storage infrastructure to SAN. According to EqualLogic, each PS200E provides Dickinson Wright with an "iSCSI-SAN-in-a-box" complete with storage virtualization, automatic load balancing, snapshots and replication. The PS200Es will support the firm's corporate data center and remote disaster recovery site. The arrays provide the storage platform for blade centers that consist of fluidly deployable blades, an EqualLogic SAN and a disk-to-disk-to-tape backup appliance.
The EqualLogic SAN currently supports more than 50 IBM blade servers. After the new data center infrastructure is complete, later this summer, Dickinson Wright will have 11 PS200E arrays supporting tier-one application storage for 140 servers. "We needed an enterprise-level SAN, and EqualLogic was the only vendor who demonstrated maturity and wholeness of vision in an iSCSI-based storage solution," says Alan J. Hunt, manager of operations for Dickinson Wright. "The Fibre Channel platforms we reviewed do not match the flexibility, scalability and complete feature set of the EqualLogic PS arrays. Also, the PS Series solution works beautifully with our new blade server environment, which depends on a shared pool of storage for on-the-fly provisioning of new servers and applications."
