“The first hurdle was to choose a first-rate hardware
and software partner,” says Bent Ole Enevoldsen,
BRK’s Technology Group Leader. “We wanted one
consistent product line, so we chose HP since it offered
the most comprehensive, robust solutions.” The IT group
built a large data center in one of its facilities, and
consolidated 150 mixed-vendor servers with mostly
direct attached storage in six regions down to 80 HP
ProLiant servers in one region connected to an HP
SAN. This effort saved server administration time,
improved efficiency, and provided savings of
approximately 30 percent. BRK also reduced its multi-
networks to two – one for regional city administration
and one for the island educational system, which
together serve approximately 3,000 municipal
employees.

A clear path for shared resources
Easier, broader access to data, along with hand-held
and wireless technologies, led to more traffic and
higher data volumes. “We have greater volume today
because almost everybody has a PC and many have
two,” says Enevoldsen, “and the schools have many
more PCs and other devices.”

The BRK staff sought to back up everything to the SAN
– including telephony, voice, pictures, and wireless.
However, due to limited capacity and an incomplete
storage architecture, the Bornholms IT group began to
find backups increasingly difficult. Explains
Enevoldsen, “A year ago, we found we couldn’t
perform complete backups of all our data because we
ran out of time. It took the entire day – a huge
problem.”

The new infrastructure centers around an HP SAN
based on the StorageWorks 8000 Enterprise Virtual
Array, tape libraries, ProLiant servers, and Data
Protector software. “Information that used to be
sequestered away in city government files is now
readily available to the people,” says Enevoldsen.
“They can access municipal services, view aerial
photographs of their property, and consult
underground cabling and pipe diagrams when
remodeling their properties.” The server and storage
consolidation meant not only greater operational
efficiencies and improved service, but also increased
information flow for better decision support in
planning, coordinating, and executing municipal
initiatives.

The SAN is an HP EVA8000 with 10 TB capacity –
enough to accommodate storage needs for the
foreseeable future – and easily expandable thereafter.
The EVA8000 provides snapclone capabilities that
enable immediate use of the clone copy, saving
significant time. Staffers use copied data as a test
platform for application changes, additional
performance benchmarking, or for tape backups.
Using the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA
software, the business technology group monitors and
configures the disk arrays from a single web-based
console. This enables them to maintain high
availability and disk utilization efficiency for optimal
systems performance.
