HP EVA 4400 SAN technical consulting for Benenden School
24 Jul 2009
System Professional has successfully concluded a HP EVA 4400 technical consulting project at Benenden School in Cranbrook, Kent.
Wade Nash, Benenden School IT Manager, invited System Professional to help with the configuration and installation of the new HP EVA 4400 SAN infrastructure. He was reassured by System Professional’s technical ability and proven skills in HP EVA storage deployments.
Benenden has been one of the leading boarding schools in Britain for over 80 years and now educates around 520 girls aged 11-18, who come from a variety of backgrounds. The School is situated in the Kent countryside in its own beautiful parkland, just over an hour from London and the major airports.
Bruce English, System Professional’s Lead Consultant, helped Wade Nash and his IT team configure the HP EVA 4400 and QLogic fibre switches. This ensured the delivery of a resilient, no single point of failure installation. This activity also updated the HP firmware and installed the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Software.
As a HP Master ASE Storage Specialist, Bruce was also able to carry out a valuable HP EVA skills transfer exercise on site to additional members of the Benenden IT team.
Wade was clearly impressed with the quality of work System Professional delivered “Having worked with Bruce before, I can vouch for his HP storage knowledge and technical acumen. He knows his subject matter and worked well with the other members of my IT team.”
