RWE IT CZ Replaces EMC Storage with Zadara VPSA to Support their SAP Environment
Zadara partner T1-Solutions assists RWE IT CZ address performance, stability and scalability concerns FRANKFURT, GERMANY – Cloud Expo, Booth #523 – November 10, 2015 – Zadara™ Storage, the provider of enterprise-class storage-as-a-service (STaaS) today announced that RWE has deployed the Zadara Virtual Private Storage Array (VSPA) architecture to replace their existing EMC storage.
The new Zadara infrastructure supports RWE’s SAP HR and Solman applications, as well as their Lancelot e-commerce application. With the support of Zadara’s partner T1-Solutions, RWE has upgraded their older storage infrastructure, addressed their performance, stability and scalability issues, and transitioned their storage from a CapEx to a Storage-as-a-Service model. RWE is one of Europe’s five leading electricity and gas companies.
The RWE IT CZ organization was facing performance, stability and scalability issues with the current storage infrastructure supporting their SAP HR, Solman and Lancelot e-commerce applications. They turned to their trusted integration partner T1-Solutions to help them identify alternatives to their existing EMC storage arrays. After testing a variety of solutions including EMC, SoftNAS and Zadara Storage, RWE IT CZ chose to proceed with the Zadara Storage VPSA, including the Backup to S3 (B2S3) option which enables VPSA data to be backed-up to Amazon S3 compatible storage.
RWE IT CZ has deployed the new Zadara VPSA enterprise storage-as-a-service solution in Dublin, Ireland, connecting to their AWS compute environment and this has transitioned them from on-premises to a full cloud infrastructure. Performance was a key requirement during the evaluation cycle. Their integration partner T1-Solutions explained, “RWE’s SAP applications had significant spikes in activity and the previous EMC arrays could not keep up with the peaks in I/O demand.
Since deploying the Zadara Storage solution, RWE has addressed their performance issues, resolved their stability concerns and they now have a scalable environment to support future growth.” “Zadara Storage met all of our criteria including performance, stability, scalability – and an advanced suite of enterprise-grade features,” said Martin Gotz, managing director at RWE IT CZ. “We were also pleasantly surprised with the agility of the Zadara solution. Once we made the decision to proceed, the solution was installed and operational within 48-hours. We were quite impressed with the flexibility and agility of the architecture.” “RWE is an excellent example of a worldwide corporation who saw the value in cloud-based, storage-as-a-service and decided to move away from the 3-5 year purchase, manage, replace cycle,” said Nelson Nahum, CEO and co-founder of Zadara Storage. “They resolved their performance, stability and scalability issues while gaining all of the agility and flexibility benefits of cloud-based, storage-as-a-service. Best yet, they never need to worry again about replacing their storage because it grows and evolves with them.” Click to Tweet: RWE Replaces EMC Storage with Zadara VPSA to Support their SAP Environment - bit.ly/1kqFlDm
