Posted on April 30th, 2011Based in New York, Samuel A. Ramirez and Co Inc. is a securities services firm which opted to use HP 3PAR Utility Storage, a basic component of the HP Converged Infrastructure systems. This decision has been made to enhance the company’s customer approachability and to reduce costs.
Samuel A. Ramirez & Co. maintains over $2 billion in customer assets. The company required to enhance customer receptiveness time to aid their future expansion goals and aims. Because of its old storage system and infrastructure, the company had to constantly face access problems while searching the database on the company maintained storage area network (SAN). This meant the company lost important time which eventually resulted in a loss for their business. Moreover, the storage management responsibilities and physical data backup took more than four hours per day to finish the work.

Ramirez & Co. stated, “A slow, unresponsive storage infrastructure was clearly impacting our ability to keep up with the demands of our time-sensitive business. HP 3PAR Utility Storage provided us with a scalable infrastructure that improved our current response times to customers, while allowing us to expand our business without concern that our storage infrastructure wouldn’t keep up.”
The company’s infrastructure now comprises of HP 3PAR F400 Storage System, HP 3PAR Remote Copy as well as HP 3PAR Virtual Copy Software allowing Samuel A. Ramirez to:
- Enhance network performance through a factor of 24 by using HP’s technological solutions which allow workloads to be divided consistently across storage resources.
