A municipal utility serving 860,000+ residents mirrored storage between two sites without buying two SANs.
The situation
Milwaukee Water Works serves more than 860,000 residents and needed its online services to survive the loss of a data centre.
What they did
It deployed StorMagic SvSAN to mirror storage across two data centres.
The result
Highly available services across both sites, without the cost of dual SANs, extra switches and the power they draw.
Why it matters
Municipal utilities in Canada have the same continuity duty and the same budget limits.
