Case Study: Mohave County achieves non-disruptive storage migrations and 200–300% performance gains with DataCore Software

Mohave County - Customer Case Study

Mohave County, Arizona, needed to migrate servers to new storage hardware without causing downtime, avoid vendor lock‑in, and reduce storage costs and refresh cycles. To address these challenges the county chose DataCore Software and deployed its SANsymphony‑V software‑defined storage platform to virtualize disparate arrays and enable non‑disruptive hardware migrations.

DataCore Software implemented SANsymphony‑V to pool storage, provide synchronous mirroring, real‑time data migration, auto‑tiering and in‑memory caching; the result was dramatic: performance improved by 200–300%, storage utilization rose from ~30% to ~90% (about 3x), the environment now manages over 200 TB, and the county can perform hardware refreshes with no business impact and up to 60% savings in operating expenses.
