Queanbeyan is now a commercial centre for high-tech local companies producing laser optics, printed circuit boards and solar cells while others produce fashion, commercial display systems and office furniture. Supporting the residents and businesses of the area is the Queanbeyan City Council (QCC). The Council's work has expanded with population growth leading to a recent increase in the number of computer servers supporting its day-to-day business. However, the Council's computer network was becoming increasingly cumbersome and outdated. The EMC CLARiiON FC4700 chosen is a full fibre channel array that delivers the highest availability networked storage solution in its class. It provides concurrent support for all major open system hosts and operating systems.
