PRINCETON FINANCIAL PROFITS FROM MISSION-CRITICAL SAN

LSI Logic Storage Systems and its strategic alliance partner, StorageTek (Storage Technology Corp), are providing key hardware, software, connectivity and professional services to help Princeton Financial Systems (PFS), a leading provider of investment management and accounting systems and ASP services for global institutional investors, offer a broader range of services to customers and improve the performance and availability of existing systems.

Accunet Solutions Inc, an engineering services firm that provides network infrastructure solutions to global corporations, worked with LSI Logic Storage Systems and StorageTek to supply PFS with a SAN infrastructure that provides centralized storage, local mirroring, snapshots, a centralized tape library and a data management solution for backup and recovery of mission critical systems. The SAN solution allows PFS to improve performance, provide high availability and simplify management of its mission-critical services.

"By moving from direct-attached storage to a SAN, we have gained a system which is easy to manage, takes full advantage of existing storage capabilities and, most important, is faster and easier for our IT staff to use," said Charlie Morris, chief technology officer, Princeton Financial Systems. "In addition, we now have an infrastructure with the lowest TCO model in the industry to support the new services that are essential for growing our business."

The new PFS SAN architecture provides a tightly integrated, feature-rich, fault-tolerant solution utilizing StorageTek/LSI Logic Storage Systems D280 disk storage arrays, SANtricity(TM) Storage Management Software with Remote Volume Mirror, and StorageTek L700 Tape Libraries.

"The technology and resulting business benefits that LSI Logic Storage Systems and StorageTek were able to provide to Princeton Financial Systems represents the precise type of winning outcome for customers that our two companies envisioned when we entered into a strategic alliance more than a year ago," said Flavio Santoni, vice president of worldwide sales, marketing and customer support, LSI Logic Storage Systems.
