6. EMC SAN Delivers Business Impact
Credit Card Company
 Problem: poor response time, “Although we
management difficulties, limited floor were previously
a single vendor
space; disaster recovery solution shop, we were
needed impressed by
– Large credit card company with over EMC’s solution
because they
1 million peak hours transactions took the time to address all of our
per day requirements. The sales team
– Needed to consolidate and simplify helped us with a TCO model and
management we were quite impressed when we
engaged with local reference
– Balancing online and batch accounts. After implementing
workloads phase one of the solution we
reduced our storage footprint by
 Business impact 50%, peak hour I/O response time
– I/O response time decreased by 50% decreased by 50% and our batch
processing production window
– Batch processing time shortened by shrunk by 30%. Phase two will
30% address DR.”

access complete
solution. The sales team
– PeopleSoft and e-mail applications focused on
impacted by dynamic nature of large showing us how
university environment the whole thing
– Decentralized environment made worked together and demonstrated
access to data difficult how we we adjust as required had
how we could plan for the future.
 Business impact And, EMC was the only vendor to
guarantee the data migration.

Automobile Manufacturer
 Problem: application implementation “EMC’s
Professional Services
– $300 million rollout six revenue-
delivered a detailed
related applications in an NT migration plan and timeline
environment which eliminated downtime. Since
– 650 NT servers backing up manually our downtime costs can top
to tape $500,000 per hour, this plan along
with EMC’s recommendation to use
 Business impact mirroring was particularly
– Quantifiable TCO—shared storage, compelling. EMC’s software
functionality, service and support
servers redeployed, TimeFinder
delivered a much higher value than
shortened backup window our incumbent vendor.”

to provide uninterrupted service a vendor. EMC
recommended that we utilize our
– Customer care and billing considered existing infrastructure and
financial life line enhance it to meet our goals. As a
 Business impact result we shorted our billing cycle
from 14 days for 5 million users to
– Shortened billing cycle for more 7 days for 9 million users—an
users improvement of 290%. EMC also
– Utilized existing infrastructure helped us to easily mirror our
critical billing and customer care
