Business Wire
INX Inc. (NASDAQ: INXI) to implement NetApp and VMware data
storage solution for a national health plan provider.
A national health plan provider, based in the Pacific Northwest,
provides insurance solutions that improve the health, well-being,
peace of mind and financial security of its members. The health
plan company has a national presence that expands to all 50
states and Washington, D.C. When the organization experienced
limitations to their data system, they knew it was time to replace
the legacy solution in favor of a state-of-the-art,
enterprise-class data management solution. INX was awarded the
four-part contract to design and integrate their data storage
system, including backup and recovery, responsible for their
mission critical applications.
The health plan organization required the new data storage
solution to be scalable, have the necessary management tools
and meet the business needs for future growth. Over the last
18 months, INX has replaced approximately 68 terabytes with
a NetApp architecture consisting of nearly 200 terabytes. The
virtualized storage system is designed to handle backup and
recovery needs utilizing NetApp’s software feature to create
“Snapshots” that can be used to restore the system quickly in the
event of an outage or disaster. The data center solution runs
mission critical applications, including Oracle and Microsoft
Exchange. The system will be configured with VMware ESX hypervisor
to virtualize resources.
The national health plan group and INX have a business
partnership that has traditionally been built around data
infrastructure and networking solutions. As part of this
project, INX collaborated with the organization to identify the
business needs and requirements so that they could be sure to
map the solution to meet these demands. The success of the
existing relationship, coupled with the strong
relationship and expertise INX has
with NetApp, contributed largely to INX being
awarded the contract.
Mark Hilz, President and CEO of INX, said, “Data center and
data management solutions continue to be strategic initiatives
for enterprise companies. Due to industry
requirements, especially in healthcare, companies everywhere
are retaining more data for longer periods of time. These
requirements are resulting in a need for storage and backup and
recovery solutions that can provide quick access to data. INX is
pleased to be partnering with industry leaders like NetApp and
VMware to provide architectures and proven solutions to our
clients.”
The four-part contract is worth $500,000 in revenue to INX and
will be completed in the late Fall of 2011.
