RSSBest Best & Krieger LLP Presents A Winning Case For iSCSI Storage
October 18, 2007
•Case Study: Best Best & Krieger
Best Best & Krieger LLP (BB&K) is a full service law firm with over 185 attorneys located in eight offices throughout California. Established in 1891, BB&K serves a diverse range of public and private sector clients, including businesses, school districts and municipalities. The firm currently represents 30 California cities as contract city attorney — more than any other law firm in the state. In an industry that is governed by strict privacy and compliance standards, it was imperative that BB&K utilize storage solutions that offer the highest levels of protection, reliability and availability for its sensitive client and case data.
The Challenge: A Value-Driven E-Mail Archiving Solution
The firm's technology infrastructure was comprised mainly of HP servers running VMware ESX to virtualize a variety
of environments including Microsoft Windows® Server 2003. The majority of the systems were already virtualized for
maximum hardware utilization and flexibility. After implementing Symantec's Enterprise Vault for company-wide e-mail
archiving, BB&K needed secondary storage to archive the data from a Microsoft Exchange application. Since the firm's
operations are conducted 24x7x365, they needed a storage solution that would operate on the same basis, providing fast
and reliable access to the archive data.
