HP and Microsoft Services are always ready
Changing over storage arrays and servers affects
almost the entire production environment, right down
to Ethernet switches that HP Virtual Connect replaces.
Emphasizes Shears, “Everything we do is based on
our Exchange infrastructure. We change everything
from soup to nuts, so in a working production
environment you will need help at times.”

He describes a moment when cluster nodes were
causing logging issues. Along with local service
engineers, remote specialized experts were standing
by, ready to fly to the GNB data center if necessary.
“HP Proactive 24 Services and Microsoft Premier
Support are very responsive and work together. We
had an issue and both Microsoft and HP engineers
were on the phone, talking with us and amongst
themselves, until we were able to work through it
without losing any data.”

Collaboration between alliance partners HP and
Microsoft is an advantage from the start. Microsoft
products – especially server products – are
“aggression-tested”, to use Shear’s term, on HP
equipment.

The fact that HP technicians are local, immediately
available and knowledgeable about GNB’s
computing environment is a great advantage
according to Shears. “The HP technicians we’ve got
here are wonderful.”

Disaster recovery made easy
The GNB CIMS team counts on the new HP
StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Library (EML)
with HP Ultrium LTO-4 Tape Cartridges to back up
or restore each Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
database – averaging 70-75 GB – in less than an
hour.

database – averaging 70-75 GB – in less than an

The EML uses the built-in HP StorageWorks Extended
Tape Library Architecture (ETLA) to deliver superior
data availability and protection against SAN event
disruptions. The tape library is scalable due to its
modular design, and easy to manage. With their 1.6
TB capacity and 240 MB/sec transfer rate, the HP
tape cartridges complement the EML with the highest
storage capacity and transfer performance of any
comparable tape technology. Shears exclaims, “You
just can’t throw enough data at it; 70 GB back-up or
restore in under an hour. It’s phenomenal.”
