HSINCHU,  Taiwan/SON, Netherlands – March 5, 2013 - PROMISE Technology, Inc., creator of tailor made storage  solutions to meet the specific requirements in a vertical market, announces the availability of a new case study  outlining the deployment of over 200 PROMISE VTrak storage subsystems (as of  2012) at CERN, the European Organization  for Nuclear Research. CERN is one of the largest and most respected scientific  research centers in the world and is home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC),  the world’s largest and highest energy  particle accelerator that is used to study fundamental forms of energy and  matter to further increase human knowledge of the universe.

To help tackle the challenge of providing storage  capacity for the tremendous amount of data generated annually by the fascinating  research at CERN, including 25 Petabytes each year from the LHC, CERN IT   requires storage solutions that are flexible, reliable, and minimize the  complexity of hardware deployment and operation. Additionally,  power efficiency is a critical component as CERN IT must match the growing  demand for more disk capacity with the electric power and cooling available for  the equipment. PROMISE Technology was able to fulfill the requirements of both  CERN and their suppliers with the Promise VTrak J830s.

“During a significant two-year deployment ramp-up, the  flexibility and reliability provided by the PROMISE VTrak J830s units met our  expectations,” said Olof Bärring, Technical Responsible for Procurement of  Servers and Storage, IT Department, at CERN. “We are able to use them both for  our bulk storage as well as in high availability configurations for critical  services.”

“PROMISE is thrilled to release this success story regarding  the VTrak deployment at CERN,” said John van den Elzen, Managing  Director of PROMISE Technology EMEA. “CERN has  an outstanding tradition of excellence and we are very excited that our VTrak  solution is a part of the storage infrastructure that helps facilitate some of  the most incredible research in the world. We are proud that we are able to  work together with the value add partners who are standing close to CERN and   help us to develop the most outstanding storage solutions.”
