Because their previous storage infrastructure was not able to meet their existing and future needs, Snapfish was looking for a storage solution that would offer extreme scalability, reliability, improve performance, and simplify storage management . They needed to balance performance and capacity with affordability, and meet its business needs for partnering.
To solve the problem, they chose a comprehensive HP StorageWorks solution consisting of an HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services Clustered Gateway, HP BladeSystem servers, and multiple HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array and HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array Enclosures.
With the HP StorageWorks solution, Snapfish has been able to build and maintain a highly scalable, affordable, high-performance storage architecture that has kept up with customer demand, and now has more than seven petabytes of total storage.
