The arrangement has worked out very well.”
“The ability to integrate at the SAN and LUN levels mean certain database tasks are much faster because they’re going directly across the storage rather than across the network... The performance is much better.”
“We have also seen a signifi cant reduction in the costs associated with power and cooling in the data centre, this is a real win for our ongoing costs.”
