Technology and outsourcing services reseller Waterstons has installed a SANmelody virtual infrastructure at Newcastle International Airport.
Working with vendor DataCore Software the SANmelody installation has become the SAN virtual infrastructure within the Airport’s datacentres.
The Durham-based VAR deployed two storage servers, one in each IT facility.

Keith Joseph, regional manager at DataCore Software, said: “We increasingly see iSCSI adoption as the protocol of choice over the more expensive Fibre Channel. This is largely owing to its good performance at a relatively inexpensive price.”
Newcastle International connected the two datacentres over an IP based network. Operating over a resilient Ethernet network which connected the datacentres together, iSCSI was identified as a key technology for the project.
George Nesbitt, general manager of business development and IT at Newcastle International, said: “We are now realising the significant benefits of our virtualisation solution including reduced maintenance costs, energy savings in line with our ‘green’ initiatives and improved disaster recovery processes.
“Waterstons’ expertise has been invaluable in this project.”
