挑战
MediaNet Digital, a New York-based company, provides content and technologies that enable brands to offer music and video download and subscription services to their customers. The company stores over a petabyte of digital content in a NAS environment, adding nearly a terabyte of new content every week from content providers. MediaNet Digital tracks consumer transactions via its partners’ Web sites and the company must compile this data into reports. However, the process of generating daily billing and activity reports was becoming increasingly time-consuming and the reliability issues with their storage solution were becoming more problematic as their demands grew. The company also maintains strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with its partners, making it crucial to find an advanced, enterprise-class solution.
关于客户
MediaNet Digital is a world leader in business-to-business digital entertainment. Based in New York City, the company provides the content and technologies that enable world-class brands to offer music and video download and subscription services to their customers. At its data center in Seattle, the company stores over a petabyte of digital content in a NAS environment, adding nearly a terabyte of new content every week from content providers. MediaNet Digital tracks consumer transactions via its partners’ Web sites and the company must compile this data into reports. The company also maintains strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with its partners.
解决方案
To address its storage challenges, MediaNet Digital opted for a data center fabric solution based on a Brocade SAN. The company considered systems from several storage vendors and their SAN switching partners but was impressed with the solution offered by Denver, Colorado based systems integrator, Advanced Systems Group (ASG). The ASG solution featured Hitachi Data Systems storage devices and Brocade 48000 Directors. The Brocade 48000 can deliver 4 or 8 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel full-duplex performance to as many as 384 concurrently active ports in a single domain, providing industry-leading throughput and scalability. The solution’s form factor also supports an unsurpassed 1,152 ports in each rack, maximizing space utilization in crowded data centers. In August 2007, with management support from ASG, MediaNet Digital deployed a pair of Brocade 48000 Directors in its data center, each with sixty-four 4 Gbit/sec ports to start, and linked them at 4 Gbit/sec speed to Hitachi Data Systems USP storage devices.

Case Study
Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
