Karoon Gas’s Jim Boyd says “this latency was causing a loss of productivity to those users who were accessing those data sets from different locations and, as such, was unacceptable to Karoon Gas, which requires fast access to the data at all times.”
“Our existing infrastructure was not serving the growth in the exploration data that we were capturing for our projects. It was simply not doing the job that an exploration company wants.”
According to Boyd, the company’s storage needs were growing as it raised the amount of data it was capturing to explore potential oil and gas reserves.
“As such, we needed a reliable, scalable, and high-quality storage infrastructure that would support not only our growing team of employees but also the amount of data that needed to be captured and accessed.”
Thomas Durea Consulting, a NetApp partner, said that to meet its growing requirements for storage capacity that can recover data at high speeds, Karoon Gas had installed the NetApp FAS3020 storage system, an enterprise-level, mission-critical data management platform, which is simple to supervise and suitable for both SAN and NAS environments.
