Leading Windows Web Hosting Provider Expands Capacity and Enterprise Backup Offerings Based on Compellent SAN
Eden Prairie, Minn., April 19, 2007 — Compellent today announced that MaximumASP, a leading provider of Windows-based Web hosting services, has chosen Compellent’s storage area network to provide instant disaster recovery and enable end-users to more easily grow, access, manage, backup and secure their information.
MaximumASP, based in Louisville, Ky., is a leading Microsoft Windows- based hosting service with customers in more than 60 countries. As the company expanded its advanced monitoring and management operations to serve more than 44,000 Web domains, MaximumASP needed to update its network-attached storage system. MaximumASP installed the Compellent Storage Center SAN to streamline administration, continuously back up both the company’s and its clients’ critical information and provide immediate offsite replication.
MaximumASP Managing Partner Wade Lewis said he selected Storage Center because his IT staff can spend just a few hours not days each week managing data compared to the previous storage system. Storage Center’s ease of use, integrated storage management applications and automated capacity planning allows MaximumASP to easily keep pace with its rapidly growing data needs.
With Compellent’s scalability and modularity, Maximum ASP can also quickly expand its disaster recovery offerings to end-users. Storage Center’s support for heterogeneous server connections including iSCSI and ability to dynamicallly migrate data between SATA and Fibre Channel disks enable MaximumASP to keep storage expenditures low and accelerate its growth in the high-end dedicated server hosting industry.
"Our goal is to continuously offer state-of-the-art business continuity offerings and provide world-class hosting and data center services to our clients," Lewis continued. "Our online disk storage capacity requirements are growing 300 percent as we expand to meet our clients' needs for backup and restore services. Compellent's ease of use allows us to provide each client customized storage capabilities efficiently and cost-effectively, while cutting our administrative time in half."
"Customers like MaximumASP look for highly scalable storage systems that give them greater efficiencies when managing a growing server and storage infrastructure," said Bruce Kornfeld, vice president of marketing for Compellent. "Storage Center has the flexibility to connect a variety of storage and network protocols in an all-in-one system that can expand exponentially as customer needs grow."
