SHS relies on a transtec storage solution to provide expandability for its future needs
The situation: SHS, a leading European provider of IT customer management solutions, utilised various types of servers for local storage of the databases assigned to customer projects. The diversity of the servers in use made monitoring network resources difficult, with the consequence that there were frequent problems due to storage quotas being exceeded.
The challenge: To cope with the complexity of SHS’s projects, as many network resources as possible should be centrally administratable and, in addition, highly scalable network storage is required.
The solution: Two transtec 1002 servers in conjunction with a transtec 6100 Premium RAID System provided a readily scalable, high-capacity storage system with excellent central administration capabilities.
