HP customer case 
study: HP PolyServe 
File Serving Utility 
Industry: 
Entertainment/Online 
music source 
Objective: 
Create a centralized data repository of highly 
scalable and available storage; simplify and reduce 
the cost of system management 
Approach: 
Deploy a cluster of Linux-based servers connected to 
a SAN through the HP PolyServe File Serving Utility, 
creating a scalable storage platform capable of 
high-speed concurrent data access 
Creating a steady stream of music 
MusicIndiaOnline.com (MIO) provides fans of Indian 
music an online outlet to search, access, and hear the 
songs of their choice. Rather than provide a site for 
music downloads, MIO streams audio files – allowing 
users to listen to their favorite Indian music on demand 
– through a Real Audio or Microsoft® Windows® 
Media Player. Up and running since 2001, the 
company primarily markets to the growing Indian 
population in the United States, yielding very 
aggressive growth. 
With consistently doubled traffic every three months, 
MIO’s previous storage methodology − direct-attached 
storage on each web server with replication software 
to synchronize content among servers − was not 
adequate. The approach produced many data silos, 
which required significant management to ensure data 
IT improvements: 
• Simplified system management by creating a 
single “shared data” repository for audio files that 
can be concurrently served by multiple file-serving 
nodes 
• Created operational flexibility for executing file 
serving, back-up, and scripting tasks from the 
cluster 
• Facilitated non-disruptive expansion of server and 
storage capacity 
• Provided superior scalability and system 
availability at a lower cost 
Business benefits: 
• Saved more than 50% of the capital expenditure 
costs compared to a traditional NAS solution 
• Enabled 24x7 client-access to digital media 
• Accommodates the company’s growth projections
