Partnering with Dot Hill
WFS selected Dot Hill as its storage hardware partner, not only for the reliability and scalability of the SANnet II storage systems, but more importantly, for the responsive service and support from the Dot Hill team. The business relationship is built on a foundation of mutual goals to provide customers with the best possible business value.
Dot Hill and WFS first partnered in 2001 integrating first-generation SANnet® SCSI storage systems into Optima3 solutions. Over the years, as both Optima3 and SANnet have been upgraded with new features and functionality, SANnet II FC systems will be integrated.
Optima3 and SANnet II
WFS's Optima3 payment processing solutions combined with Dot Hill's SANnet II storage solutions provide a team approach to individual customer needs and environments.
Optima3 payment processing solutions provide administration, capture/retrieval, completion, analysis, reports and research and are seamlessly scalable for future growth. These solutions increase throughput, minimize processing errors, and reduce operational costs.
SANnet II FC (Fibre Channel) storage systems are integrated as the storage component in the Optima3 solution and enables users to access and retrieve archived documents quickly and easily.
SANnet II FC storage systems provide industry-leading 99.9998+ percent uptime in a compact, rugged enclosure. SANnet II cost-effectively provides enterprise class features, interoperability and seamless scalability for future growth and investment protection.
