Tasmania’s Department of Police and Emergency Management (DPEM) brings together the State’s critical emergency and disaster management competencies under one umbrella. The Department has a dedicated Information Technology Services (ITS) team that looks after the infrastructure, computing and the application needs of each component organisation.
In early 2013 it recognised the exisitng SAN had outgrown its capabilities due to insufficient disk and IOPs capacity. This case study is how the DPEM chose Nimble Storage to achieve dynamic workload allocations, simplify management and maintenance, and reduce the rack space requirement while increasing capacity.
