The Boston University's College of Engineering includes 37 research centers and labs in which some 3,000 students, faculty, staff, and affiliates create and share large, complex data files and run compute-intensive applications. In 2005, the college's IT team resolved to make a change. They needed something easier to manage, but something resilient enough to accommodate their demanding environment. Rather than piecemeal solutions, the university sought a common platform that would centralize all their storage needs without sacrificing reliability and versatility. The College of Engineering's team evaluated several major storage offerings from half a dozen storage vendors and chose NetApp.
