Its flagship cloud computing platform provides a truly scalable, flexible computing resource and is backed up by advice and strategy direction from Carrenza’s consulting team. Founded in 2001, Carrenza has built a solid base of clients, which include: eBay, Saatchi & Saatchi, Paypal, Tribal DDB, Haymarket, and SDL International.

We were already using the InServ T-Class as part of our Utility Computing Services, so we were well acquainted with its efficiency, agility, and ease of use. That’s why we were confident that an additional 3PAR array would be the best choice for painlessly weathering the transaction storm we were bracing for on the evening of Red Nose Day 2009. Without 3PAR’s generous technology donation of an additional T-Class system, it could have been a long night for us.

...what truly sold us was that 3PAR was different from the other storage vendors we had dealt with. They really spoke our language, not just in terms of future scalability, but also in terms of translating dollars into cost per useable gigabyte or terabyte—the same way that we communicate costs to our end-users.

OpSource delivers a complete Web operations solution for software as a service (SaaS) and Web companies. Providing everything but the application itself, OpSource is the only Web operations company whose customers pay only for what they sell, not for the resources they consume. OpSource purchased the 3PAR InServ S800 Storage Server to increase storage capability for their customers' SaaS applications. With 3PAR Thin Provisioning, OpSource can now deliver an On-Demand Business Model for their customers.

3PAR Utility Storage fits perfectly with our business model. We price our Optimal On-Demand SaaS enablement and delivery solution so that software companies pay only for the resources they need, as they need them. 3PAR allows us to acquire storage capacity in much the same way, as opposed to buying all the storage we expect our customers to use in the coming year and then having most of that resource sit around, paid for but unused, for most of the year.

-Treb Ryan
CEO, OpSource

Panasonic Electric Works Information Systems, a leading provider of consulting, integration, outsourcing, and network solutions, purchased the 3PAR InServ Storage Server to provide better storage services to its consulting organizations.

The 3PAR InServ provides us with the simplified storage management needed to rapidly respond to our clients' requests in seconds rather than hours or days, cost-effectively scale to their growing needs, and deliver simple provisioning and administration at very competitive costs.

Top-ten UK hosting provider Ultraspeed has consolidated onto the 3PAR InServ^® F-Class Storage Server as part of a cloud computing datacenter transformation to support the underlying storage requirement for their next-generation Diskless Infrastructure^®. With 3PAR Utility Storage, Ultraspeed has cut their storage capacity, administration, and power requirements in half and saved on support costs associated with the new infrastructure to support their Diskless Platform^®.

With 3PAR we have a superior technology which has improved our Diskless service offerings to our customers. We no longer have to worry about hitting our capacity limitations. The biggest surprise for us, however, has been the ease of use associated with the F-Class array. We initially did not believe it could be so simple and kept expecting a ‘gotcha.’ The command line interface, however, is one of the best we have seen and with it we have noticed a significant reduction in the amount of time we expend on managing the system. It now only takes us half the time to provision a LUN as compared to our legacy storage environment.

» Verizon Business Storage White Paper

Verizon Business has built their on-demand storage service on 3PAR Utility Storage. The aim of Verizon Business is to help companies better manage and store their growing volume of corporate data. With their new pay-as-you-go service model, companies utilizing Verizon Business' Enterprise Hosting Services can store critical company information more easily and cost-effectively using Verizon Business' new shared infrastructure. This infrastructure leverages its extensive capabilities in server, IP network, and storage management.

Through the use of only a few key commands, storage may be provisioned to a host without specialized training or intimate knowledge of the low-level devices within the enclosure. This speeds up storage provisioning exponentially and allows us to service customer requests more efficiently.

Storage Architect, Verizon Business, Verizon Business
