Language Weaver, a leader in automated language translation solutions, needed
to control costs fueled by their explosive annual data growth, comprised
mostly of ASCII and HTML data stored on NetApp 6030 filers.  A
high-availability pair of Storwize STN-6800 appliances was selected based upon
their unique ability to provide 75% real-time data reduction while supporting
the high-performance data access requirements driven by the NetApp 6030 filers
which can have as many as 600 client CPU's writing to the same file system at
once.

"Our data grows more than 70% per year so we need to control costs while
optimizing data center floor space and power," said William Wong, VP of
Engineering at Language Weaver.  "The Storwize solution delivers a unique
combination of data reduction and performance.  With 75% data reduction we get
more capacity from our existing storage, making more efficient use of our
current floor space, power and cooling resources.  And, we can do this all
with absolutely no compromise to our storage performance requirements."

"Language Weaver is a great example of why capacity optimization solutions
must deliver both data reduction and performance," said Peter Smails, Senior
Vice President of Marketing at Storwize.  "Organizations need to reduce cost
by making more efficient use of their existing capacity, floor space, power
and cooling, but they must be able to accomplish this without compromising the
performance and accessibility of their business critical data.  We appreciate
Language Weaver's selection of Storwize based upon our unique ability to
deliver on these requirements."
