HP SAN in office since 2003 
Located in southern California and serving a 
constituency of 181,640 people, the City of Fontana 
describes itself as a “City of Action”. Fontana 
management encourages its staff to do more with less, 
and the goal of its 20-member technology staff is to 
use efficiency and constant innovation to help 
Fontana’s 2,500 employees work more productively 
and economically. 
The Fontana technology team selected a winning 
strategy in 2003 when they adopted a storage area 
network (SAN) based on the HP StorageWorks 
Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA). Their traditional direct-
attached storage (DAS) environment was limited in 
scalability and flexibility and required excessive 
management time. 
Business technology improvements: 
• Dynamic storage provisioning 
• Faster technology infrastructure readiness to meet 
future growth and changes 
• Outstanding reliability and substantial storage 
capacity at an attractive price 
Business outcomes: 
• Centralized, scalable, virtualized storage capacity 
to support city’s critical applications and business 
changes  
• Investment protection with proven storage 
technologies 
• Higher asset utilization by building on installed 
storage infrastructure 
• Improved compliance with U.S. Department of 
Justice data security requirements 
• Future: potentially smaller data center could 
generate less heat and use less power – saving 
energy and space costs
