When Advanced Energy Industries decided to outsource their SAP and messaging applications, as well as other IT services to BlueStar Solutions, Bill Augustadt, Chief Technical Officer at BlueStar, knew his company needed a networked storage platform that scaled quickly, was highly available and easy to manage. He knew that this storage needed to be centralized on the network to allow shared access between two remote locations.

To meet Advanced Energy's requirements BlueStar needed a storage system that:

• Was highly available and reliable
• Required minimal training and no specialized expertise to manage
• Provided a platform for the future, yet still leveraged existing hardware and software investments
• Delivered a quick return on investment (ROI)

The Intransa IP5000 Storage System was the answer. The IP5000, an IP-based SAN, leverages existing Ethernet network infrastructures to offer a scalable and easily managed solution at roughly one-fifth of the price of today's Fibre Channel SANs. Intransa's unique, distributed architecture enabled BlueStar to scale to six terabytes (TB) of storage without any network disruptions.
