Thin Provisioning, Using ETERNUS Disk Storage Systems, Enabled Storage Use Optimization That Now Supports Stable Integrated Infrastructure Operation, as Well as Fast and Flexible Service Delivery

Synform Co., Ltd. provides support to the Benesse group of companies using IT provisioning. Facing an increase in the number of servers, Synform configured an integrated infrastructure using blade servers and virtualization technology. But another problem arose in the course of operation; a requirement for increased disk storage capacity. This time the approach Synform took was to optimize their data storage using ETERNUS disk storage systems and their thin provisioning functions.
