Challenge: Eliminating data fragmentation in virtualized environments (with a tight budget)
The technology team supporting the busiest public library building in the country has a big job to do with limited resources. As the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County were building their virtualized environment, they needed a storage solution that would eliminate data fragmentation and volume management issues. They also needed a storage solution that could scale and allow them to add storage cost effectively.
