“The benefit of having HP servers and HP 
storage working together is that they share 
the same tools, terminology, management 
approach, and ways of doing things. That 
simplifies everything we do.” 
− Bo Guntofte, Chief Information Officer, 
Naestved Municipality 
focus on infrastructure issues – including data backup 
and networking,” says Guntofte. “We did a thorough 
review of our processes for greater efficiency.” 
Switching from IBM Tivoli 
That review led to the implementation of a new, 
streamlined data-protection strategy for the 
municipality, phasing out IBM Tivoli Storage 
Management (TSM) and bringing in HP Data Protector 
software. “Our Tivoli system did not function very well,” 
says Guntofte, “and it was expensive. We reviewed the 
equipment we needed, and asked, ‘What can HP 
do?’” 
The Naestved IT team looked at several backup 
solution options, and did an in-depth evaluation of two 
choices: HP and IBM TSM. “As a public-sector 
enterprise, we have to make sure we are spending 
money the best possible way, and we decided to move 
away from IBM Tivoli.” 
Guntofte describes the choice of HP for their data-
protection solution as “a natural progression.” At one 
time the municipality was a “100 percent IBM shop,” 
but in recent years brought in more HP technology. 
“We had a good working relationship with the local 
HP account team,” says Guntofte. “We were already 
using HP equipment: server blades, networking 
equipment, two large ProCurve network switches, and 
many smaller switches. We also had a SAN based on 
the HP StorageWorks EVA8000.” 
The server infrastructure includes both IBM and HP 
products. However, the municipality is replacing older 
IBM products with HP blade servers. Today they have 
about 90 servers total, most of which are HP c-Class 
server blades, both Intel- and AMD-based. “The benefit 
of having HP servers and HP storage working together 
is that they share the same tools, terminology, 
management approach, and ways of doing things,” 
says Guntofte. “That simplifies everything we do.” 
Naestved built their new data protection and 
continuity system around StorageWorks hardware and 
software. They upgraded their existing HP EVA8000 
SAN to 17 TB of storage capacity to manage the 
growth of data from applications. 
For backup, Naestved purchased a new HP 
StorageWorks 6510 Virtual Library System (VLS) for 
disk-to-disk backup, which gives them an extra layer of 
security, while speeding up backup and restore times. 
The tape backup layer is an HP StorageWorks EML 
103e E-Series Tape Library with two Ultrium 960 Tape 
Drives and 98 media slots filled with HP LTO Ultrium 
Data Cartridges. HP Data Protector software manages 
backups to the VLS and EML. 
The HP data protection system provides backup and 
restore services for the municipality’s most essential 
functions, including: Microsoft Office business 
applications, SQL databases, financial systems, a 
4,300-user Microsoft Exchange e-mail system, VMware 
consolidated backup, Citrix Presentation Server. This 
solution yields application access to users across the 
network, file services, other backend services, and a 
Fujitsu eDoc document-management system handling 
1.3 million documents.
