would hold 3.6 petabytes,” Giardina says. 
“In contrast, our SAN cabinet holds just 
800 TB. The Cisco and Veeam solution is 
4.5 times more efficient.” Because iland 
can store 2.2 times as much backup data 
for the same price, cost per gigabyte is 
55 percent less than before. Storing more 
data in the same space also lowers data 
center power and cooling costs.
“And our staff is already familiar with Cisco 
UCS, so there’s very little extra management 
overhead,” Giardina says. “We see right 
away if there’s an issue with a disk, memory, 
or processor.”
Customers are back in business in half 
the time
Customers can get back to work quickly 
if a virtual machine fails. For example, if a 
virtualized mail server goes down, just one 
click in iland’s self-service portal mounts 
the backup file from the C3160 and 
immediately starts the virtual machine.
“We can restore virtual machines faster 
with UCS C3160 than we could with 
SAN arrays,” Giardina says. The reason is 
scalable processing power and fast I/O: 
20Gbps. By comparison, the I/O for a 
leading public cloud provider is 8Mbps.
Faster restores and lower costs attract 
customers
The Veeam Cloud Connect service 
has grown rapidly, and iland backs up 
thousands of virtual machines—from 2 TB 
to 300 TB for each customer. “Enterprise 
customers looking for cloud backup care 
about two things: SLAs and price,” says 
Giardina. “The UCS C3160 is good for 
business because we can restore virtual 
machines 50 to 75 percent faster, at a 
competitive price.”
Moving backups off the SAN array also 
improves availability. “If our whole production 
SAN went away, customers could still 
restore their virtual machines and data from 
the Cisco UCS C3160,” says Giardina.
Hybrid clouds and even simpler 
management
Now iland is preparing to offer new 
services using its Cisco
®
 Unified 
Data Center solutions. One is hosting 
OpenStack environments. Another is 
backing up on-premises private clouds to 
the C3160 using Cisco
®
 Intercloud Fabric. 
iland also plans to deploy the new Cisco 
UCS S3260 storage optimized server, 
which increases the efficiency of backup, 
recovery, and archiving by moving more 
data in less time.
Giardina concludes, “The Cisco Unified 
Data Center gives us a scalable foundation 
to introduce new services and serve more 
customers. The UCS C3160 is a useful 
new building block for cost-effective, fast 
backups and restores. And adding the 
UCS C3160 didn’t require us to learn a 
new interface or talk to another vendor 
for support.”
