Vision
As a leading technology provider, Smarsh is dedicated to helping organizations in highly regulated industries manage and secure their communications data. To accommodate rapid growth, Smarsh needed a modern data center that could meet growing archival needs while minimizing downtime, reducing footprint and cutting costs.
Solution
In collaboration with Dell Technologies, Smarsh has modernized its professional archive environment. Utilizing Dell PowerMax and PowerStore, Smarsh developed a high-performance archive infrastructure. With Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for data backup and APEX AIOps for monitoring, Smarsh has ensured robust, scalable, and secure operations.
Impact
Thanks to Dell’s solutions, Smarsh reduced its infrastructure footprint by 67%, cut OpEx by over $200k monthly, and boosted data access speed by 10x. This modernization ensures robust data protection, compliance, and significant power and cost savings.
“PowerStore gives us a sub-millisecond of latency. It does everything we need to make sure that our data is highly performant, available and secure.”
