3PAR Helps Harness the Scalability of the Cloud

3PAR has recently announced today that Smarsh, the managed service leader in secure email archiving solutions, has deployed 3PAR Utility Storage within its secure cloud infrastructure. As noted in this news release on the 3PAR website, Smarsh deployed a highly scalable 3PAR InServ T-Class Storage Server to support its Microsoft SQL Server database, and a second T-Class array to handle backup and recovery.

"'We evaluated multiple vendors and found that only 3PAR could address the unique reliability, performance, and scalability challenges we were facing while supporting SQL Server Always On Technologies,' said Stephen Marsh, CEO and founder of Smarsh. 'In addition, 3PAR delivered superior technology as compared to other leading storage vendors.'

"Faced with data growth rates in the neighborhood of 2 TB per month, Smarsh had long outgrown its Direct Attached Storage (DAS) environment. In addition to space limitations, Smarsh needed to ensure ongoing high performance with its Microsoft SQL Server database as the company grows. Smarsh began to evaluate other storage options that would be compatible with its SQL Server deployment and support SQL Server Always On Technologies."
