68. CUSTOMER REFERENCES: “IMPROVE OPERATION EFFICIENCY” Customer: Ergotron, Inc. Customer contact: Jim Fischer (VP of IS) Problem: Jim has budgeted Q108 also but ran out of space running their Oracle E-Business suite. Note, to wait for budget approval and shipping equipment, this can be an easy 6 months waiting period Solutions: To help save spaces, in the Oracle application development platform which running on VMware, PS series unique technology allows them to re-claim spaces by simply online modify the snapshot space settings to a much smaller spaces Secondly, because they still needed more room, PS Series unique technology allows them to online dynamically changed the hardware-level RAID setting from RAID10 to RAID50 Benefits: Not only Jim got extra storage room for immediate needs, they also noticed that there are no performance degradation! To many customers, this level of flexibility of being able to make storage decision and yet be able to change/switch decision at any time is 100% unique in the entire storage industrial.

LINUX HPCC implementation In US – Weinman GeoScience Inc., a consulting services group to the oil and gas industry in Dallas and Houstonhttp://www.weinmangeoscience.com/http://www.equallogic.com/uploadedFiles/Resources/Customer_Success_Briefs/SC103_WeinmanGeo.pdf Supports a cluster of 250 AMD dual-core Linux nodes connected to 100TB of raw iSCSI storage on 15 PS Series arrays. The iSCSI storage is served up by four Sun Solaris NFS servers. This one app makes up 60% of Weinman GeoSciences’s business of process seismic data. Today, Weinman's infrastructure includes two data centers. The first consists of two Linux clusters (90 nodes), five PS Series arrays supporting a three-node Sun Solaris™ cluster, and two NAS units. In the second data center there are three Sun Solaris servers, five SCSI RAID arrays, and multiple tape drives The iSCSI SAN was “very easy to scale, and reliability and performance has been excellent,” says Richard Smith. Retired an FC infrastructure in favor of an all-iSCSI SAN Comment from Richard Smith: “Dell EqualLogic’s iSCSI solution had a low introductory price point, but it wasn't the cheapest solution in town. The performance of the firm's Dell EqualLogic system RAID 50 storage has been remarkable, consistently reaching 100 [megabytes] to 150 megabytes per second from each of our four groups of three or four arrays"

Our IT team can now focus on other priorities, including the continual enhancement of content and applications, which is critical for our success as a business in the digital world. This type of near-zero configuration is unheard of with other iSCSI players in the market; it’s clear that EqualLogic operates on a customer-driven level”– Ken Davis, CIO
