Case Study: City of Greenwood Village achieves scalable, consolidated storage and rapid recovery with US Signal

Why the City of Greenwood Village selected OneNeck to help them establish a storage strategy

City of Greenwood Village, a Colorado municipality of about 14,000 residents, was caught in a cycle of piecemeal storage upgrades that couldn’t keep pace with data growth or support planned virtualization. Seeking a scalable, enterprise-class storage and management solution, the City engaged US Signal to evaluate and deploy a modern platform using EMC VNX storage, VMware virtualization (vSOM) and Cisco UCS servers.

US Signal designed and implemented a turnkey SAN and virtualization solution that consolidated disparate resources onto a single integrated platform powered by EMC, VMware and Cisco, migrating file servers and virtualizing systems with no downtime. The deployment delivered easier single-pane management, faster server provisioning, reduced need for frequent hardware replacements, and an operational disaster recovery site that can recover a server and its data in under 10 minutes versus days previously.
