Brevan Howard is one of the largest and fastest growing hedge funds in Europe. The London based fund manages over £6 billion in assets. As a fast growing company, IT demands required a high performance and highly scalable storage infrastructure that could be managed simply and flexibly. They selected the 3PAR Utility Storage platform for its mission critical trade entry system. The key selection criteria that made Brevan Howard choose 3PAR included performance, cost-effective storage management, disaster recovery characteristics and overall platform utility.
We felt 3PAR was the right choice for us. 3PAR Utility Storage gives us the opportunity to deliver high, and in some cases greater levels of service with reduced time, expertise and cost.

Georgia Telco Credit Union has grown to be one of the largest Credit Union in the state of Georgia with membership close to 100,000. Georgia Telco offers a wide variety of financial products and banking services.
Georgia Telco member base and data requirements are projected to grow rapidly over the next few years. The IT team realized they needed to build out a more robust storage infrastructure to support the growth. After evaluating the 3PAR InServ Storage Server with Oracle 10g at the Oracle Enterprise Technology Center in Atlanta, the benefits were obvious and compelling enough for a purchase.
Evaluating the 3PAR InServ and Oracle 10g at the Oracle Enterprise Technology Center is a quick and cost-effective way to assess these two outstanding offerings. We witnessed in real-time the significant utility computing benefits of this 3PAR/Oracle joint solution.
