Chose Cisco Storage Area Networking
We looked at the Brocade G series and IBM SAN switches, but the seamless integration into our AAA suite and availability of skills in our local market were big factors. We also have these deployed in FlexPod and VxBlock environments, which the reference architectures provide …

The best scenario where we found the Cisco Storage Area Networking is best suited is for an architecture where we need a robust technology that provides high level SLAs regarding downtime due to maintenance activities. Our infrastructure provides the core to our Data analytics team, which provides the data needed for our commercial and management leaders to make the right decisions thanks to the data. We need our infrastructure to be robust and reliable, when it runs smoothly, we can focus on other aspects of IT Infrastructure areas, giving our inside business clients the service they need.

In my experience with this equipment we have installed it for clients with different characteristics, in manufacturing companies with the configuration between their virtual environment and storage, in clients with storage in different sites making communication and data transfer between them, also in clients with SAP HANA where servers from different platforms and storage communicate

My rating of Cisco Storage Area Networking is a solid 10 regarding low-latency network is due to the high needs our data analysis teams need on their tasks. They have a lot of batch jobs that last quite some time and that also overlaps in a series of periods during the day. Their batch jobs need to run flawlessly, so our commercial teams can make the right decisions right on time. Our data also needs to be backed, up, when we run backup jobs, it is important that they do not decrease the efficiency regarding the service. This is also a key point in our choice to use Cisco Storage Area Networking as our backbone.

This equipment model was selected for the characteristics it has which perfectly covered the functionality requirement in the implementations that were carried out, also for the ease of installation, configuration, administration and growth that it has. Customers have been satisfied with all the benefits of the equipment and above all that it is not necessary to invest too much time in its administration, since once implemented nothing else has to be done and the maintenance time used is the minimum since it is a very reliable and safe team
