Not-for-profit Queensland Sugar Limited (QSL) manages over 90% of Australian raw sugar exports in conjunction with seven milling companies and around 3000 growers.

Like other organisations, it has experienced rapid growth in the amount of data it needs to store, and after reviewing the options QSL has chosen the IBM Storwize V7000.

"The IBM Storwize V7000 storage solution offered the best price-performance ratio, combined with innovative real-time compression and management features," said Salvo Spina, QSL's information and communications technology manager.

"QSL is a not-for-profit organisation and we strive to deliver the best possible value and services to our shareholders."

The real-time compression capability means the V7000 can compress active as well as 'cool' data by up to 80%.

"Organisations need storage infrastructures that can better respond to constant social, economic, and business change," said Joe Screnci, business unit executive, storage systems, IBM Australia and New Zealand.

"They need a smarter approach to storage, one that exploits automated intelligence to increase the efficiency, utilisation, and performance of storage systems while lowering costs and handling growing data volumes."
