A simple way to find savings within the data center is to reduce capital cost through IT infrastructure consolidation. Whether it is servers, networks, storage, or all three, reducing the amount of capital assets through consolidation is a well established infrastructure conversion process and is backed by numerous economic advantages. Consolidation also introduces many new operational benefits typically associated with resource utilization, energy efficiency and the necessary scaling of administrative resources. Storage infrastructure consolidation is a strategy for transitioning an application driven environment composed of multiple distributed server silos (islands), which often have internally embedded (DAS) storage, over to an external storage networking architecture.
Making the move to a consolidation solution is second nature to BlueArc. A team of BlueArc & VRITS experts can help evaluate your environment to identify the segments of your IT infrastructure that are ideal candidates for consolidation. Scaling to new levels of capacity, performance or even system availability has never been easier, including making the transition from the old infrastructure to the new BlueArc storage network. With migration tools, tiered storage, file system virtualization, hardware accelerated performance and simplified administrative interfaces, consolidation makes sense, saves money and provides the stability you need to eliminate risk.
Sustained performance under heavy loads is one of the core benefits of the BlueArc Storage Servers. This ensure that you can convert both prior application and file servers confidently as the system scales seamlessly and remains solid with no performance drops as load increases. As diverse as our customer environments, the BlueArc platforms are ready for any mixed aggregate workload. Whether you need high client counts, high throughput (multi GB/sec) or have a niche workload with a file system performance concern or just maximum IOPS efficiency, BlueArc offers a broad breadth of file system functionality matched by un-compromised speed.
These unique differentiating qualities are why BlueArc provides the ultimate platform for consolidation of network file services like NFS, CIFS and iSCSI for unified IP based storage networking. Whether scaling for capacity of up to 16 petabytes, or clustering multi GB/sec throughput performance or maximizing IO operations per second into the 100's of thousands, BlueArc provides the scalability needed for consolidation with competitive pricing through proven TCO analysis.
Key Benefits of Infrastructure Consolidation:
- Improves Total Cost of Ownership
- Administrative Resource Scalability
- More Flexible Operational Process Improvements
- Improved Energy Efficiency
- Performance Optimization
- Shared Resource Utilization
- A Scalable Storage Network
