Overview:
Wavefield Inseis is a Norwegian marine geophysical company that provides proprietary data acquisition services. The company offers a portfolio of non-exclusive multi-client data to the global exploration community developed in partnership with oil companies and governments.

The company needed to meet 30-day data retention goals for VMware environment, scale storage capacity cost-effectively to meet 25% yearly data growth, and develop a more reliable disaster recovery strategy.

The solution was Data Domain deduplication storage for high speed backups, extended data retention, and replication for faster time-to-DR.

The benefits achieved through virtualisation are multiplied with Data Domain. Wavefield achieved savings in terms of electricity, rack space, cooling and network capacity. The Data Domain systems require virtually no administration and every time Wavefield adds a new VM, the team does not have to provision more storage to protect it adequately. Data Domain manages the job just fine.
