Klosterfrau Chooses DataCore to Improve Its Storage Availability
Pharmaceutical Company Relies on SANsymphony Software for Disaster Recovery
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (September 9, 2003) DataCore Software, a leading provider of enterprise-class, open storage networking software, has implemented its cross-platform SANsymphony storage management platform at Klosterfrau, a leading German pharmaceutical company. The long established company, based in Cologne, needed an especially robust storage solution to protect its rapidly growing volume of data. Because previous backup methods no longer provided adequate facilities for disaster recovery, Klosterfrau chose to implement SANsymphony's forward-looking technology. As a result, the company expects to substantially lower the total cost of its storage management functions.
"The advantages of a universally compatible, vendor-independent solution are clear," says Frank Roth, head of Klosterfrau's Information Technology department. "Thanks to SANsymphony, we can select the hardware components for our software entirely on the basis of cost/benefit criteria without having to worry about compatibility."
SANsymphony software flexibly provides storage resources to a heterogeneous application environment, ensuring that data backups do not interfere with Klosterfrau's SAP production system. In a catastrophic situation data would be recovered quickly without costly and labor-intensive intervention.
SANsymphony software is the ideal solution for efficiency-oriented, high-productivity companies. Above all, it can help them boost asset utilization by handling storage management processes with minimal cost and administrative effort.
"More and more customers rely on open storage solutions that not only overcome current problems, but also have a secure, effective and scalable architecture for future requirements," says Uwe Kramer of Schelle GmbH, the DataCore system partner that installed the SANsymphony solution for Klosterfrau. "By working together so successfully with DataCore, we can offer our customers a storage management software package that enables them to expand their systems as needed and guarantees a higher return on investment."
