Droitwich Spa High School is a specialist sports school located in Droitwich
Spa, England, with an enrollment of approximately 1,500 students. The use of
computers has become increasingly important in the school’s curriculum, and
students use digital media for their schoolwork. As a result, the school’s storage
needs have been growing rapidly.
Spa, England, with an enrollment of approximately 1,500 students. The use of
computers has become increasingly important in the school’s curriculum, and
students use digital media for their schoolwork. As a result, the school’s storage
needs have been growing rapidly.
The school’s servers were running out of disk space, and it was backing up data
from them directly to tape. That was proving to be costly and inefficient. The
school was looking for a solution that would improve backup performance,
reduce backup costs, improve data recovery, increase backup capacity, and
back up from multiple servers.

school was looking for a solution that would improve backup performance,
reduce backup costs, improve data recovery, increase backup capacity, and
back up from multiple servers.
Droitwich Spa High School chose the HP StorageWorks D2D2500 Backup
System because it was more affordable, more flexible, and easier to manage
than large tape units. The school also purchased four HP ProLiant DL380 G5
servers, the world’s best-selling servers.
System because it was more affordable, more flexible, and easier to manage
than large tape units. The school also purchased four HP ProLiant DL380 G5
servers, the world’s best-selling servers.
As a result, Droitwich Spa School now has a fast, reliable backup solution, and
enough storage to last into the foreseeable future. The school has reduced
costs, increased data security, and improved network performance. Its backup
runs quickly and reliably, and the overnight backup window no longer goes into
the following morning. The school will gain a cumulative, projected three-year
net benefit of £61,997, driven by avoiding unnecessary hardware-related costs,
and by reducing tape costs. The project has a return on investment of 113% and
a payback period of 17 months.

for students and staff.
Improve data
Staff can now much more quickly find and recover data. In addition, the

school now has an extra layer of data redundancy, to ensure that data is
never lost.
Reduce costs
As a result of the HP deployment, the school will gain a cumulative,
projected three-year net benefit of £61,997, driven by avoiding
unnecessary hardware-related costs, and by reducing tape costs.
