”The HP D2D4000 Backup System works flawlessly for us. We had no
problems setting it up, the system recognized it right away, and the software
configuration was straightforward.”

The whole system looks to Bozeman
Montana State University (MSU) Bozeman is the main
campus of the Montana State University System, and
the state’s land grant university. The 1,170-acre MSU
Bozeman campus sits at an elevation of 4,900 feet
on the south side of the scenic city. The Information
Technology Center (ITC) on the Bozeman campus is
the main computing center for the university system.
While individual university departments have their
own mail servers and local files, the ITC is responsible
for maintaining critical university-wide databases and
mail servers.

Availability of services is the No. 1 business level
goal for the ITC. “Four different campuses around
the state are dependent on our databases,” says
Mike Hall, UNIX® Systems Administrator. “They are
out of business without those databases. We have
all the student transcripts and employee information,
and hear about it quickly if that information is not
available. But with a solid disaster-recovery system
in place, we can still do business even if we have a
catastrophe.”

Need to get out of the library
In 2008, the ITC initiated an upgrade of their data
protection capabilities. “We needed a significant
upgrade of our disaster-recovery infrastructure,” says
Hall. “We are in the basement of a library, and we
have had problems with things like flooding.”

As part of their evaluation of new disaster-recovery
(DR) strategies, MSU took advantage of an
opportunity to participate in the beta-test program for
the HP StorageWorks D2D4000 Backup System. “We
are in the process of setting up an off-site disaster-
recovery site,” explains Hall. “Right now we have a
separate disaster-recovery rack in our network room.
We are planning a DR site in a separate building and,
eventually, at an off-site location.”
