TelecityGroup Selects Dot Hill for Clustered Virtual Desktop Infrastructure for Integration of European Data Centre Facilitie...
14 April 2014 - 10:00PM
Dot Hill Systems Corp. (Nasdaq:HILL), a trusted supplier of
innovative enterprise class storage systems, today announced that
TelecityGroup (LSE:TCY) has selected Dot Hill's AssuredSANTM Pro
5000 Series hybrid array with RealStorTM real-time autonomic
tiering to support a clustered virtual desktop infrastructure in
several of its new European facilities. TelecityGroup is
incorporating the AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series into its clustered
Microsoft Server 2012 R2 virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) at
its new data centres across Europe, including Warsaw, Sofia and
Istanbul.
The AssuredSAN Pro 5000 is the first hybrid array to offer
real-time data migration, allowing companies such as TelecityGroup
to gain the most cost effective and efficient use of flash and SSD
technology in their IT deployments. The AssuredSAN Pro 5000 with
RealStor operates in response to the dynamic nature of modern data
centre workloads by moving 'hot' data into high-performance flash
storage in real-time while moving less active data onto more cost
effective HDDs, helping to ensure that service providers can more
easily meet demanding service level agreements.
TelecityGroup is the leading provider of carrier-neutral data
centres in Europe, operating highly-connected facilities in key
cities. These data centres are the places in which the separate
networks that make up the internet meet and where
bandwidth-intensive applications, content and information are
hosted. As such, they are the key network hubs, or enabling
environments, of the European digital economy. TelecityGroup's
customers take advantage of the highly-connected facilities to
operate, store, share, distribute and access digital media, IT
applications and information effectively and efficiently.
"We selected the AssuredSAN Pro 5000 based on some excellent
customer references, our evaluation of its performance, and its
ease of use," said Paul Bishop, CIO, TelecityGroup. "We are
expanding our customer capacity in key European locations by
building new data centres and expanding existing facilities,
ensuring we have the capacity to support our clients' growth."
The AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series offers distinct advantages over
storage systems that use SSDs in a read cache configuration. With
RealStor autonomic tiering, "hot" data is moved into the SSD tier
to enable consistently fast access. This contrasts with most read
cache implementations that rely on a simplistic algorithm to
optimise read performance and lack intelligence to migrate cold
data to more cost effective storage tiers. Dot Hill's RealStor
software detects priorities within the data set and delivers faster
I/O immediately.
"Our AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series features seriously smart
RealStor software that responds to dynamically changing data
without human intervention or policy settings" said Joe Swanson,
vice president of marketing and business development, Dot Hill.
"RealStor software takes tiered storage in a hybrid array to a new
level — beyond other tiered storage systems that rely on off-hours
batch migration, and into a new era of autonomic, real-time
tiering."
