market.It offers brokerage services, investment banking, and financial advisory servicesto
corporations and individuals Recent expansions into other worldwide markets have led to
delays mprocessing trading datainto usablereports that are timely enough for consumption

and higher competitive advantage for the firmcompany is projecting 100% data growth rates
annually for the foreseeablefuture.A recentpower outage at the productiondata center that
lasted 24 hours resulted in significant data loss.The production data center:
All rack-mount servers
Microsoft SQL Server 2000
HP ProLiant DL385 servers
Two HP Enterprise Virtual Array 6400 SANs
Heterogeneous SAN environment consisting of HP B-series and HP C-series
SANs
The on campus Disaster Recovery Center is newly constructed and has not been configured
or brought on line:
BladeSystem environment
Core edge design
All HP B-series
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System
The company pulls all of its trading information and data into a warehouse and then runs
reports on the data internal reports determine whether to update asset allocation. Customer
reports detail current holding and earnings of the firm’s funds. The most complex reports
takes 36 hours to run an can only be run over the weekend to prevent disruption to
operations; this results in traders receiving updated information only per week.There is also
an option for customers to access web-based reports, and there is a need to update these
reports more frequently as well. Some of the additional business criteria identifiedin
customerplanning interviews includes:
Produce daily reports rather than weekly
Close to real time reporting to customers
Scalable solution for further growth and without interruption
Ability to add additional reports or analyze in new ways as the need arises
Reduced IT overtime
Concerned about application disruptions when adding or removing SAN devices
Manage multiple fiber Channel ports as one switch resource
Move from 4GB SAN to an 8GB Fibre Channel SAN.
Looking for optional performance, less downtime, non-disruption expansion, and a
Low price per port on the FC Switch deployment
Consolidation of SANs for seamless sharing of server storage resources
Multiple solutions, prioritized with recommendation
