HPL Tackled Storage with SAN based Solution

The project cost about Rs 1.5 crore (US$754,982) and went live in February 2008. With the SAN up and running, about 60,000 pages of documents were digitized and made available through the company's document control center. The data generated by engineering documents due to project activity is projected to be 6TB per year. Apart from being a data store of the application servers, data on user machines is now protected on the SAN. New servers to be deployed do not need massive storage since the SAN works as a single dedicated backup system.
