3PAR, Carrenza hosting and comic relief team up to raise £31.6 Million

April 2010 by Marc Jacob

3PAR announced that the cloud computing platform used to support Comic Relief’s latest charity event, Sport Relief 2010—managed by Carrenza Hosting and built on 3PAR InServ® Storage Servers, HP® BladeSystem Servers, and VMware vSphere™—has helped raise a groundbreaking £31.6 million so far, and counting. As a technology partner for the 2010 Sport Relief campaign, 3PAR donated the use of a second InServ® T400 Storage Server to supplement the existing T-Class array already deployed at Carrenza Hosting. This technology contribution from 3PAR, combined with the cloud computing platform provided by Carrenza, helped Sport Relief take in the highest donations total in Sport Relief history. The money raised will be spent by Comic Relief to transform lives in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries.

Last year, 3PAR and Carrenza Hosting came together to assist Comic Relief in processing £57.8 million in online charitable contributions for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day 2009. This year, Carrenza’s award-winning, cloud-based Utility Computing Services (UCS) platform—built on the combination of products from 3PAR, HP, and VMware, a proven blueprint for the virtual datacentre also known as “3cV”—was once again used, this time to support Sport Relief 2010. The UCS platform processed an extraordinary 386,524 donations over 7 hours during the Sport Relief TV event on March 19th, with a peak of 125 donations per second—a four-fold increase in peak traffic over the previous Sport Relief TV event in 2008.
