London Underground Updates IT Infrastructure With Legato's Leading-edge Backup and Remote Site Solutions Major Contract Win for Legato Systems in High Profile Organisation
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 23, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Legato Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: LGTO chart, msgs), a worldwide leader in enterprise storage management software, has won a substantial contract from London Underground, one of the world's most advanced and biggest public transport systems. The contract, forming part of a substantial IT infrastructure project currently underway at London Underground, is for Legato(R) NetWorker(R), the company's enterprise wide storage management solution.
As part of the overall IT infrastructure project London Underground is rolling out a new standardized operating environment, which includes a server end and backup system. The total Legato installation will cover more than 5,000 seats within the organization.
"Our requirement was for automated backup at remote sites without the need for manual onsite intervention. NetWorker offers centralized administration thus avoiding intervention, cutting down on costs and the manpower needed to run the system. This, along with the fact that Legato solutions offer safe and effective back up, has given us considerable peace of mind that our critical data is well protected," stated Alan Archer, technical architect at London Underground.
London Underground is a major business with 3 million passenger journeys made a day serving 275 stations over 408 km of railway. With this volume of traffic and corresponding level of critical data, there is an increasing demand to ensure the reliability of backup systems.
"London Underground is one of the most high profile organizations here in the UK and as such we are delighted to be part of one of the biggest IT infrastructure projects ever undertaken by it. Not only will this installation display the adaptability of NetWorker to mixed environments, it's also an excellent demonstration of a multi-site remote controlled storage network," comments Brian Haynes, Director, Northern Europe & South Africa, Legato Systems Inc.
London Underground had already begun the procedure of installing Legato NetWorker within three specific sites when it decided to roll out throughout the enterprise to both desktops and servers. The project required a backup solution to cope with both large and small sites. Legato NetWorker is ideally suited to the role.
The whole system is monitored by London Underground technical engineers and spread across many locations. The system itself has the ability to store between six and seven terabytes of data each day. Once completed, the implementation will involve full enterprise wide backups per week and differential backups everyday.
