Based on the assessment insights, Dell designed a new storage infrastructure. The vendor implemented multiple EqualLogic blade arrays for the three major sites--The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel and The Casino Plaza, then integrated them with Venetian Macao's existing IT infrastructure.

According to Gilson, the company also opted for 10G iSCSI technology or storage networking: "iSCSI's something new to us but we believe it's cost effective [for connecting different storage equipment]," he said.

The entire implementation took two months, said Gilson, adding that the Dell system went live in September 2011. While Dell systems are the majority in the firm's storage environment, Venetian Macao has also deployed products from other vendors, he added.

The Dell system provides a capacity of 60TB of usable data. "We have 38TB on our system, and we expect to buy additional capacity within two years," Gilson said.
