“With the HP PolyServe File Serving Utility

additional servers and storage capacity as
my operations need them. That is critical
when my user traffic is doubling every three

As the number of web servers increased, replication
took its toll on performance. At one point, MIO waited
up to nine hours to replicate site content, and could
not conduct interim upgrades during replication.
Customer complaints rose, as users had difficultly
getting on the site and accessing audio files. MIO
could not pinpoint the source of particular problems,
until staff realized that the storage backbone had hit a
wall.

“We needed a central repository to enable efficient,
non-disruptive scaling out of content,” explains MIO’s

storage platform enabled to grow with increased
demand and expanding content.”
non-disruptive scaling out of content,” explains MIO’s
Vice President Bharath Aiyer. “It was critical to have a
storage platform enabled to grow with increased
demand and expanding content.”
Searching for a harmonious combination
MIO started a search for a single, highly available,
scalable, and redundant storage platform – with a
main goal of minimizing costs. Says Aiyer, “We
evaluated network-attached storage (NAS) offerings on
price, expandability, and uptime. We concluded that
the solution based on the HP PolyServe File Serving
Utility delivered better performance and a true cost
advantage.”

The PolyServe solution also provides:
• No single point of failure
• Easy-to-scale storage capacity to accommodate
projected content growth
• Easy-to-scale performance by simply adding more
low-cost, industry-standard servers
• Multipurpose Linux-based servers, which MIO can
deploy concurrently as NAS gateways and for other
tasks (such as executing scripts, data backup and
web serving)

The solution is in tune with needs
“The HP solution enabled us to migrate the local
content previously on attached storage on 12 web
servers to a centralized repository,” says Aiyer. The
new solution incorporates a cluster of two Linux-based
servers, which handle Network File System (NFS)
requests, connected to a Storage Area Network
(SAN). Combined with HP PolyServe File Serving
Utility software, this solution creates a scalable storage
platform capable of providing concurrent high-speed
access to data with full data integrity. Because all the
content is now accessible in a single repository, there
is no need to replicate data across multiple web
servers.
