IMG Mediahouse hits home run with Huawei Symantec

Storage specialist works on private cloud with global production house. Mediahouse selected disk-based storage and networked attached storage from the Huawei Symantec Oceanspace series, and a next-generation blade server from the manufacturer’s Tecal range. It’s essential in the broadcast industry that any solution does what it says it can and at a rapid rate. Any downtime or ‘black space’ as it’s known in this industry causes the broadcast to stop completely, which costs a lot of money and naturally shakes client confidence. Huawei Symantec’s excellent track record in the telecoms sector made them a natural fit for an industry that relies on trusted recommendations and due diligence tests carried out at the very highest levels, before it implements a new technology.

WISE Campus Relies on Meru Networks Wireless Technology

Almost immediately after going live with the wireless network, the College’s IT personnel were flooded with calls from users frustrated with the unreliability and poor performance of the network. Overwhelmed by the volume of complaints, the College sought specialist support from Synaptics Solutions, a systems integrator with expertise in the design, deployment and supporting of large scale wireless networks within academia. After a thorough survey and review of the system, Synaptic Solutions identified a number of issues that were contributing to the poor performance that Filton users were experiencing. At Synaptics Solutions’ suggestion, Filton College decided to invest in a Meru Networks wireless network. Synaptic Solutions began the changeover by disconnecting the legacy equipment thought to be causing the networking problems. Shortly thereafter, they began deploying the Meru Networks networking kit

KEMP MoneyWeek case study

The majority of organisations rely on email as their prime communication medium; however email in a magazine publishing environment is critical. Magazines survive on their bility to get the scoop or insight on stories and much of that is about speed – particularly for a weekly publication like MoneyWeek which is producing numerous stories each week for the magazine and website. Following a number of technical planning and scoping sessions with the System Professional project team, a revised design and project plan was agreed for the Exchange 2010 upgrade. This involved an initial server virtualisation of the MoneyWeek infrastructure and the introduction of two storage area networks.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Streamlines Backups, Saves Money with Disk-based Backup

FMCS’s IT department is responsible for supporting 500 users in 250 different offi ces throughout the U.S. The agency conducts much of its business over the web and protects lots of different types of data, including information from web, database, Blackberry and email servers that are located in its Washington, D.C. datacenter and are used to support its day-to-day business activities. The staff had been backing up the agency’s data to a disk array for short term storage and then sent the backups to tape each night for long term storage. Each week, the IT staff mailed out tapes to a secure facility for safekeeping, but with a three year retention mandate, the cost of tape, mailing and offsite storage was a budget-buster.
