Another brokerage spokesman, CIO T. Rajah, says in an EMC statement that the new SAN and replication software gives CLSA the ability to provide hot standby for all applications automatically, something that wasn't possible before. "When Hong Kong was hit by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in April 2003, we were able to allow more than 50 per cent of our staff to work from home," he says. Further, the company's saving maintenance costs over its old distributed systems, he claims.
It's not clear why the story's been hidden under a bushel, particularly as SAN deployment isn't as common in the Asia/Pacific region as it is in the U.S. and Europe. It's possible the vendors involved were loath to give credit to others, particularly given the notorious sensitivities of other integration partners.
