Terian Solutions Backs Up Vital Customer Data With BlueArc Titan Solution
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN JOSE, CA, May 28 / MARKET WIRE/ --
BlueArc? Corporation, a leader in scalable,
high-performance unified network storage, today announced that Terian
Solutions, a leading online backup provider based in Houston, Texas, has
implemented a BlueArc Titan storage solution for data protection services
backed by world-record speed and accuracy, as well as a cost-effective
foundation for future growth. The BlueArc Titan server cluster gives Terian
Solutions customers priceless peace of mind, as BlueArc technology helps
the service provider back up millions of customer files with minimal chance
for disruption, and at a lower price per terabyte over the long term.
Terian Solutions customers include small publicly-traded firms and large
privately-owned companies in industries including energy and health care.
These companies share common traits such as rapid growth through mergers
and acquisitions, as well as requirements that they comply with data
retention and protection regulations (including the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002). Terian Solutions supports these firms' lean IT teams with data
protection services based on a cluster of two BlueArc Titan servers and a
third BlueArc Titan server dedicated to data recovery.
"Our customers who are public and privately-held companies throughout North
America rely on Terian Solutions for backup and recovery," said Ron
Pollvogt, chief technology officer, Terian Solutions. "We chose the BlueArc
Titan solution because we needed a rock-solid, smoking-fast system. But the
Titan server's hardware-based architecture also gives us the capacity to
scale out without the cost of additional licenses and gear required to
expand a software-based storage system over time."
Priceless Performance from BlueArc Titan Servers
Terian Solutions protects anywhere from 100 gigabytes to multiple terabytes
of data for each of its customers. Backup tasks require high data
availability around the clock, as customers perform validation and recovery
tests during the day, while normal data backup jobs occur at night. But
Terian Solutions' legacy storage system consistently failed to sustain
adequate throughput, requiring hours-long stretches of server maintenance
that in turn threatened data availability and service level agreements.
The clustered BlueArc Titan solution allows Terian Solutions to support
customers' data protection tasks and perform maintenance with far fewer
constraints on uptime. In a disaster recovery scenario, the world-record
speed and accuracy of BlueArc Titan storage helps ensure Terian Solutions
can copy millions of small files to disk and ship the data to the customer
as fast as possible.
The selection of new storage technology represented an investment in the
future for Terian Solutions. To that end, Mr. Pollvogt modeled the return
on investment in BlueArc Titan storage for long-term value, and determined
the price per terabyte would be lower than conventional software-based
solutions. However, he could not put a price on the dedication of the
BlueArc support team.
"The BlueArc team really demonstrated a desire to be a partner -- not just
a vendor," said Mr. Pollvogt. "That's why they've earned industry awards,
as well as our business."
