AmeriVault upgrades its storage infrastructure

AmeriVault Corp. has announced that it has upgraded its storage infrastructure in its Waltham, Massachusetts, Mass Storage Vault with the deployment of EMC CLARiiON CX storage solutions. This upgrade has improved the speed of AmeriVault's online backup and recovery offering by more than forty percent, providing customers with faster server backups and more efficient data restores.

AmeriVault's new CLARiiON CX-based infrastructure replaces the company's previous storage solution provider. The Mass Storage Vault is now exclusively composed of EMC networked storage.

AmeriVault's storage deployment consists of over 32 terabytes of CLARiiON CX600 and CX400 networked storage systems and software. The CLARiiON systems utilise both Fibre Channel and ATA drive technology - providing flexibility for the company to match customer service level requirements with the storage environment. The company is also using EMC SnapView software in conjunction with AmeriVault's backup offering for non-disruptive recovery operations, and EMC MirrorView to ensure IT continuity in the event of a disaster.

AmeriVault maintains two data centres: in Waltham and in Philadelphia, PA. The company is managing both sites with EMC's VisualSRM software to manage and report on asset utilisation, provide trend analysis and implement policies. The Philadelphia-based vault features EMC Symmetrix storage.
