"Our customers demand that we use the latest CAD technology to deliver the desired solution, and in so doing, we generate thousands of large, complex files," said John Deutsch, senior system administrator for NASSCO. "We needed a tool that would equip our IT organization to drive costs down while driving service levels up. Overland's SRM 3 was the answer. In addition to recovering a tremendous amount of poorly used space, we are now able to automatically manage our storage space and keep it tuned to provide the highest value to our customers."
"Today's IT organizations are focused on providing better service at a lower cost. Overland SRM is all about cost control through better use of existing personnel and hardware assets," said John Cloyd, vice president of Overland's storage management business unit. "NASSCO's requirements made it an ideal candidate to implement SRM. Overland's active SRM tool enables companies like NASSCO to optimize their IT investments, while managing storage growth and increasing effective storage capacity by better use of existing assets."
