Customer Challenge:
Home to approximately 80,000 citizens, the City of Bloomington is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country and boasts a robust economy, resulting from a diverse mix of sectors - from manufacturing and medicine to education and entertainment, among others.
Due to fiscal challenges in the past, the city was forced to make strategic cutbacks that affected critical infrastructure investments, including data storage systems. Over the course of a decade, the combination of expired storage system support contracts and makeshift solutions, like jump drives and low-cost arrays, added significant complexity to the city's IT management and maintenance efforts.
The growing volume of public safety data, however, prompted a shift back to IT modernization leveraging Pure Storage's reliable, efficient, and secure data storage platform.
