Case Study: Highland Capital Partners achieves hybrid cloud storage and DR efficiency with ClearSky Data

Highland Capital Partners turns to ClearSky Data for hybrid cloud

Highland Capital Partners, a venture capital firm with a lean IT team, needed to replace aging Dell Compellent primary storage and move toward a more scalable hybrid cloud model. The company wanted a solution that would reduce manual management, shrink its data center footprint, and provide strong security and high performance for sensitive workloads, including VMware and Microsoft SQL Server.

ClearSky Data provided Highland Capital Partners with a managed service for primary storage, backup, and disaster recovery. The implementation was described as easy and helped Highland cut costs by 30%, eliminate multiple physical storage systems and related licenses/support, and reduce IT burden while improving access to cloud-based storage and DR capabilities.
