CenterBeam preferred HP to handle growing customer demand

Of late, the renowned cloud computing services provider, CenterBeam, has selected HP Converged Infrastructure for supporting the ever increasing demand of its cloud service and considerable augmentation in customer data.

This major step by CenterBeam was taken due to the swift growth of its cloud services that required urgent replacement of its EMC-based infrastructure, consisting of EMC CLARiiON storage solution. After assessing the solutions from established names like EMC and Dell, CenterBeam considered HP, including HP ProLiant BL460c G7 server blades and HP 3PAR storage, as the perfect solution for its cloud services.

Opting to HP VirtualSystem, CenterBeam has been able to expand its storage capacity, significantly. Also, HP VirtualSystem offers CenterBeam a quick path to proficient and agile virtualized application solutions. Its steady architecture reduces performance blocks, whereas integrated management makes deployment across virtual and physical environments simpler.

“Exploding data growth is forcing our customers to find cost-effective options that increase capacity while maintaining performance levels of mission-critical applications,” said Shahin Pirooz, executive vice president and chief technology officer, CenterBeam. “The functionality and scalability of HP 3PAR systems enable us to offer affordable, flexible cloud storage services to our customers, while creating a unique competitive advantage for CenterBeam in the market.”

Using HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization software that automatically transfers rarely used data to affordable SATA drives from the costly flash drives and Fibre Channel, CenterBeam experienced significant reduction in the overall storage cost.
