Redundant Controllers have meant that we have been able to actively upgrade the system in real-time, critical to ensuring that we have business continuity." John Greenwood, Chief Technology Officer at Virtual Effect, adds "There is a constant and consistent evolution of the Seagate Exos portfolio, something that makes it extremely attractive to both partners and customers. With wide support for connectivity options, plus integration and certification for the full suite of Seagate Exos HDD, SSD and NVMe drives a blend of performance and capacity can be delivered from a single Seagate Exos system. What's not to like?" Founded in 1929, Grundon is the UK's largest family-owned supplier of integrated waste management and environmental services. One of the most visible brands in the UK waste management sector, with a backdrop that includes six materials recovery facilities, Grundon is responsible for treating more than 800,000 tonnes of waste for over 15,000 organisations of all sizes and across all industries. Their fleet, bins and skips are prominent around the UK and the company's many services include clinical, confidential and hazardous waste disposal. Grundon's total waste management service includes the collection, treatment, recovery, recycling and disposal of non-hazardous waste streams, in addition to dealing with all aspects of hazardous waste, including contaminated waste, clinical and healthcare waste, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The company also offers additional services, including special event waste management and industrial cleaning services. This is a data-driven organisation, and the 'always on' availability of this information underpins the successful running of the dayto-day operations of this distributed and dynamic business. Their Storage Area Network spans two locations and the business needs the assurance that they have a robust and resilient storage environment that can address future growth and security for data compliance. Richard Hardyman is the Head of IT at Grundon Waste Management, and Richard and his team work closely with trusted partner and storage specialist Virtual Effect to ensure that they meet the needs of the business. At the core of their award-winning solution is Seagate's Exos storage technology. Richard explains why this was chosen: "The Seagate Exos platform provides tiered storage and gives us full redundancy for our active business data. We have been able to, and Seagate is an established global industry leader in mass data storage solutions with manufacturing sites located worldwide. In the past 40 years, Seagate has provided over 4 zettabytes of storage to the market and the company continues to lead the way in development and innovation, having recently announced the Exos Mosaic 3+ representing a breakthrough in HDD technology combining mass capacity, unprecedented areal density, and proven performance. And it's not just on-premise technology that Seagate deliver, something that their Lyve Cloud Object Storage represents - with no egress fees, API charges or vendor lock-in. Grundon clearly has an agile business model that constantly adapts as the regulations and messaging around reuse and recycling evolve, and with the solution that Virtual Effect have provided based on Seagate technology, the business has a data storage platform that provides complete peace of mind and stability for the future.
