Solution Installation: Case Study
Backup, Restore, Tiered Storage and Message Management
Our client had installed an EMC Centera storage system, and assessment showed a need for up-to-date solutions to provide backup, restore, tiered storage and email message management for over 4,000 users. ArrAy worked with the client to identify software solutions that would meet all the requirements. Following that, we:
. Defined the storage hierarchy
. Developed appropriate rules to implement policy for retention, archiving, collection, etc.
. Described administrative policies
. Defined procedures for email message journaling, queuing, etc.
. Installed, configured, integrated, and tested the software applications
. Resolved cross-vendor solutions
. Worked with the client on knowledge transfer to assure ongoing operation
. Assisted with data migration
The process was completed quickly, thoroughly documented and turned over to the client.
