Fehmarnbelt
Tunnel & DataCore Storage Virtualization Software
The organization overseeing construction of the
18km Over $8 billion Fehmarnbelt tunnel between Denmark and Germany has
deployed DataCore storage virtualization software and it has cut disk storage costs
by around 75%.Danish state-owned Femern’s IT systems will have up to 150 engineering staff, as well as numerous consultants and contractors working to access CAD drawings, specifications and workflow systems for the project, which will be running on VMware and DataCore based systems.
“Our users were
experiencing slow response times and a performance lag from their Microsoft SQL
& Exchange applications running on VMware.
Today, and in the future, with DataCore, the applications appear robust,
instantaneous and seamless.” - Tim
Olsson, IT Manager at Femern A/S
The massive 18km underwater tunnel is
due for completion in 2021.
The IT team adopted DataCore’s
SANsymphony-V caching, auto-tiering and Fusion-io flash memory to speed up
access to data and critical applications.
As a result it has ensured high speeds
for its critical Microsoft SQL database and mail applications and safeguarded
the project’s future growth flexibility to handle increased traffic and avoid
hardware supplier lock-in with software-defined storage.
