availability infrastructure.


Business Overview                                                                                 Business Impact

Impulse Advanced Communications (www.impulse.net) is a service provider                           ➡   High-availability
that designs voice and data networks that prepare companies for growth.                               active-active fail-over
For over 15 years Impulse has helped businesses gain a technological                                  to ensure data access
advantage by designing, implementing, and managing advanced                                           around the clock
communications networks that enable a geographically unbound workforce.
Their services include FailSafe Internet Access, hosted VoIP, managed                             ➡   Rich feature-set that
hosting, and network design.                                                                          tops legacy storage
                                                                                                      solutions

Challenges                                                                                        ➡   Cost-effective
                                                                                                      scalability
As a company specializing in a variety of IT services, it is imperative that Impulse’s internal
infrastructure is sound and has robust data management tools available. Like many other IT
service providers, Impulse was originally a customer of legacy storage vendors. Impulse
started with the NetApp® Filer, however Impulse quickly out-grew capacity and, when it
came time to expand, Impulse faced a hefty price tag.

After its experience with NetApp, Impulse decided to try a different service provider:
EMC®. Impulse deployed the EMC NS352 Celerra to manage their data storage needs. Soon
Impulse discovered, however, that EMC’s technology had some technological short-comings.
For example, the EMC NS352 maxed out with 2 GB/sec
through put, resulting in networking bandwidth that was too
low.

When they calculated they would also max out their existing
storage, Impulse decided to evaluate other storage solutions
that would mitigate costs and provide better, more robust data
management software than the technology offered through
NetApp and EMC.

Solution Overview

NexentaStor is the leading storage platform built upon the ZFS
system. After consulting with Pogo Linux – a Nexenta Certified Partner – to consider
                                                                                                             “To meet our storage
alternative storage technologies, Impulse selected the pre-configured and pre-tested Pogo
                                                                                                               growth, we had to

Below are some highlights of Impulse’s use of NexentaStor:                                                  However, we chose to
                                                                                                               replace EMC with
✦   Data is Highly Accessible: As an IT service provider, high-availability data storage is                  NexentaStor instead.
                                                                                                           Nexenta provided best-
     a must for Impulse. It’s important to make data accessible to Impulse customers around
                                                                                                           in-class features and had
     the clock. NexentaStor supports high availability storage and Impulse trusts that their                superior performance
     information will be available no matter where or when it’s accessed, who needs to                      compared to the EMC
     access it, or what device is used to do so.                                                                   appliance.”

                                                                                                           -Jessie Bryan, Dir. of Systems
✦   Applications Hosted from Two Datacenters: Impulse has deployed two                                        Engineering at Impulse
     datacenters from remote locations, one of which being a Nexenta HA deployment. The                     Advanced Communications
     two systems are connected to a single JBOD with active-active configuration.

✦   VMware® ESX: Since virtualization is a tool often used by Impulse, it was important
     that their storage solution support VMware-based activities.                                                 Impulse’s
                                                                                                                Configuration

Business Overview Business Impact Impulse Advanced Communications (www.impulse.net) is a service provider ➡ High-availability that designs voice and data networks that prepare companies for growth. active-active fail-over For over 15 years Impulse has helped businesses gain a technological to ensure data access advantage by designing, implementing, and managing advanced around the clock communications networks that enable a geographically unbound workforce. Their services include FailSafe Internet Access, hosted VoIP, managed ➡ Rich feature-set that hosting, and network design. tops legacy storage solutions Challenges ➡ Cost-effective scalability As a company specializing in a variety of IT services, it is imperative that Impulse’s internal infrastructure is sound and has robust data management tools available. Like many other IT service providers, Impulse was originally a customer of legacy storage vendors. Impulse started with the NetApp® Filer, however Impulse quickly out-grew capacity and, when it came time to expand, Impulse faced a hefty price tag. After its experience with NetApp, Impulse decided to try a different service provider: EMC®. Impulse deployed the EMC NS352 Celerra to manage their data storage needs. Soon Impulse discovered, however, that EMC’s technology had some technological short-comings. For example, the EMC NS352 maxed out with 2 GB/sec through put, resulting in networking bandwidth that was too low. When they calculated they would also max out their existing storage, Impulse decided to evaluate other storage solutions that would mitigate costs and provide better, more robust data management software than the technology offered through NetApp and EMC.
