Weiman Geoscience chooses EqualLogic for complex seismic data processing

"Weinman had been using a combination of Snap Appliance Snap Server network attached storage (NAS) and Nexsan Technologies SCSI storage to support 20 TB of data. Unfortunately, these units were unable to handle the high data transfer volumes required for seismic data processing - regular failures disrupted operations and put data at risk."

"In researching SAN solutions, Weinman found Fibre Channel to be much too expensive. They needed total reliability, high throughput, and excellent performance at a reasonable cost."

"The EqualLogic arrays have been very reliable, and have demonstrated the ability to move data at a much higher rate than any other solution we tried. In addition, the customer service and support have been first rate."
