Hitachi Data Systems Case Study: The Southern Grampians Shire Council

The ten towns of the Southern Grampians Shire Council in Victoria, Australia, enjoy a breathtaking landscape - ancient volcanoes, meandering rivers, waterfalls and rolling pastoral lands - surrounded by the Grampians mountain range. But despite this tranquil setting, the IT operations for this region have experienced serious pressures to keep up with new online access requirements and accelerated growth of data. To smooth operations, the Southern Grampians Shire Council chose to centralize its storage environment on Hitachi modular storage.
