The Challenge
In the city administration Villingen-Schwenningen the existing virtual infrastructure is backed up by Veeam on a Fibre Channel appliance. Before they decided to use euroNAS, a solution from Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) was used for the task.
Over time, the amount of data grew and a new reliable backup solution was needed. For the seamless integration with the existing infrastructure, the new solution had to provide the storage over Fibre Channel.
The solution
In the city administration, there was already an existing server with 37.5 TB of net storage space incl expansion unit, therefore the use of euroNAS Storage Software was logical step. After the quick and easy installation of euroNAS, Veeam Backup was able to use new new storage.
euroNAS is now running reliably since years
Thanks to the user friendliness of euroNAS products, the implementation with the existing hardware as a storage for the required backup solution was very easy.
