Great news!  Campus Technology magazine picked up our University of
Miami story.  The publication reaches IT decision makers at universities
offering excellent visibility for ONStor. =20

Marine Research School Implements Virtual Storage Solution


3/3/2008

By Dian Schaffhauser

The Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science
<http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/>  at the University of Miami said it has
implemented an ONStor network attached storage <http://www.onstor.com/>
(NAS) solution in its two data centers. The school, comprising 100
faculty members, 190 graduate students, and 250 research support staff,
is using the ONStor Bobcat NAS gateway to gain a single view into
storage resources.

"ONStor's virtual file servers act as regular Windows file servers on
our network, but without many of the software update issues of regular
Windows computers," said Michael Anderson, director of computing at the
school. "By loading a standardized software image on the ONStor unit, we
don't have to deal with the downtime and time consumption that updating
multiple Windows machines require."

An operational challenge for the school results from the distributed
nature of how research is conducted. Each project tends to favor a
different technology or solution, and storage purchasing decisions are
frequently based on the ability to share information across parallel
technology with colleagues at other institutions. This collaboration
often means that the technology used in the data centers isn't
standardized, limiting what disk subsystems can be purchased and how
they're deployed and managed.

"With ONStor, a single methodology for providing network-attached
storage is possible, even with our many different varieties of disk
systems," said Anderson. "We want our scientists to view disk storage as
something that 'just exists' out on the network--like a dial tone when
you pick up a telephone. ONStor interoperates with several of our
incumbent mass-storage solutions and offers us the flexibility to
integrate other data management solutions as required."

The School's prior storage solution, which had initially addressed this
issue, became too costly to manage. Much of the Rosenstiel School's
largest data files consist of satellite images from above and below the
ocean's surface. The researchers then study these images and accumulate
their findings onto the storage. ONStor's NAS gateway presents the data
under a consolidated interface for simplified storage access and
management.

The solution also allows the school to replicate information between
data centers, creating redundancy in the event of disaster.=20
