UM’s Department of Public Safety is a state-licensed law enforcement agency, protecting more than 39,000 students and thousands of faculty and staff across hundreds of building. Implementing a PS Series SAN was part of an effort to disaster-proof IT while reducing administrative effort and creating a foundation for advanced video surveillance.
"The EqualLogic product feature set and performance is unmatched in my opinion. EqualLogic’s snapshot, replication and extended feature set solved other problems we had not even begun to look at. EqualLogic and Mercury Solutions definitely helped us identify and implement best practices for IT management for our disaster recovery policies."
- Jeff McDole, IT Manager, University of Michigan Department of Public Safety
