The new server is being used as a file server for the CAD department with the main emphasis on speed of access. Logma, therefore, chose to base this server on state of the art SSD (Solid State Disks) instead of traditional SAS or SCSI. Initial trials of the server in situ proved impressive - a successful installation and implementation which has increased efficiency within the CAD department

To minimise any bottlenecks on accessing data on the new SSD based server above, Lunar Caravans also opted to install a 10Gb based network with a HP ProCurve 2910al network switch. The 10Gb network offers greater traffic throughput and proved successful after installation.
