From the experience that they have had with the 2 units of 16-bay QSAN SAN storage, the engineering company is very satisfied with the stable performance during the past 5 years.
When the new generation of the XCubeSAN was launched in 2022, they decided to purchase 1 x 16-bay SAN storage to reduce future expansion cost for their current data center. The XS3316D onboard with 4 x 10GbE SFP+ LAN port not only can save additional expenses for extra connection, but also improves the transmission efficiency.
The server on which runs the Veeam Backup and Recovery software connects to a Cisco Meraki switch, and then connects to the 3 SAN storage cabinets. The firm operates backups twice a day for important workload backup for an average of several hundred gigabytes per day. This setup has significantly enhanced data protection while ensuring scalability for future growth. The company has also benefited from faster backup times, increased reliability, and a more efficient storage management system, making it an integral part of their IT infrastructure.
As an engineering firm, the staff frequently uses sophisticated applications such as Bentley MicroStation, Bentley OpenRoads Designer, Miovision camera-based traffic data collection, and Autodesk Civil 3D.
These programs are crucial for designing transportation infrastructure and other civil structures, generating a vast amount of mission-critical data that must be securely stored and retained for an extended period. The firm’s projects require long-term data preservation, as historical project data is essential for future reference, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation.
A 12-year data retention policy is critical to the firm, ensuring access to valuable project insights, adherence to industry regulations and standards, and protection against potential legal disputes. Given the prolonged retention period and the vast number of files, the firm demands a highly reliable, high-performance, and scalable storage solution with enterprise-grade data integrity, redundancy, and fault tolerance to ensure continuous accessibility and safeguard against data corruption or loss.
