Printing companies use NAS storage to solve data backup needs

    Foreword


    A well-known printing enterprise in the country has found that the existing data storage backup is not applicable to the scale of the enterprise's gradual development, and cannot keep up with the development of enterprise data backup, virtual desktop storage, remote data intercommunication, and post-maintenance expansion. After the comparison trial, the Synology NAS network storage server was selected as the core product, which solved various data storage backup problems encountered by enterprises today.



    Customer Background


    A printing company is a comprehensive large-scale color printing group. It has offices in China, East China, West China and North China with wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as several offices in major regions. The office, production, storage and other construction areas used by the printing company are nearly 15W square meters. Currently, there are more than 4,000 employees, and it is a well-known printing industry enterprise in China.


    The printing company is a company with a large volume of business, complex personnel and large scale. It can produce about 80GB of data every day in ERP, MES, OA, mail and other information systems. There are more than 100 virtual desktops in different locations around the world. Now, the printing company urgently needs a product solution that can solve the needs of enterprise data backup, virtual desktop storage, and remote data intercommunication.



    Business Challenge


    As a well-known company in the domestic printing industry, the printing company has a large scale, complex business, and a large number of personnel, which makes the general equipment unable to meet its needs. Because the printing company had purchased other brands of NAS before, but the function is single, the configuration is cumbersome, etc., they feel that the user experience is not good, but also encountered the RAID array failure can not repair itself. Later, after heavy screening, the printing company purchased the Synology DS918+ for trial use. After comparing with the previous NAS, it found that the Synology NAS network storage server system configuration is simple and easy to use, and there are reminders when it fails. Of course, in the end, the printing enterprise should deploy data backup, virtual desktop storage, and remote data intercommunication in the enterprise. It is necessary to re-purchase high-equipped machines. The main challenges of these problems are:


    1, the amount of data growth is large, about 80GB of data growth every day


    2, the user volume is large, the number of active employees reaches more than 4,000


    3, multi-site office in different places, offices all over the country


    4, virtual desktop storage, data storage of more than 100 virtual desktops


    5, the whole set of equipment and equipment, need to monitor the entire set of equipment



    Solutions


    In the current IT environment of the printing company, there are about 100 virtual desktops. For this reason, the printing company has built about 80TB of storage space by purchasing the Synology NAS network storage as a network device for virtualization and storage management. , Guangzhou, Qingdao and other branches. The specific solution uses RS4017xs+ for 60 VM virtual desktop storage and VM virtual storage, RS2418RP+, DS2418+, DS1819+, DS1019+ for file storage and backup.


    In the actual application of the printing enterprise, five SSDs are configured for the RS4017xs+ to improve the data access performance and stably provide the storage of the virtualized server. In addition, create up to 256 application-consistent LUN snapshots with snapshots and replication, ensure virtual machine data and state consistency running on VMware, and enable emergency disaster recovery.


    Since the printing company generates about 80 GB of data on ERP, MES, OA, and mail systems every day, it can be quickly backed up to remote NAS or public cloud through the backup kits such as Hyper Backup of Synology NAS to realize data inter-network communication. With a secure backup. It takes about 2 hours a day to complete the data backup, which is equivalent to the backup upload speed of 12MB/s, ensuring timely backup of data and interoperability.


    


    With Synology CMS, you can manage multiple Synology NAS servers efficiently and conveniently. Even if you don't leave your home, you can manage multiple NASs on one management interface and monitor the status of all NAS servers at a glance. Solve the embarrassment that the equipment is too difficult for maintenance personnel to monitor.
