Customer

As Valley Proteins pursued an aggressive growth strategy through acquisitions, it became clear that storage was becoming a bottleneck to consistent performance for SAP applications. The company’s legacy storage arrays were 3 years old, and they were already becoming overloaded.

  • Fast-growing SAP environment demanded higher performing infrastructure.
  • Legacy systems were expensive to maintain, requiring forklift upgrades every 3 years.
  • Engineers spent significant time rebalancing workloads to optimize performance.

Results

Valley Proteins improved performance for its business critical SAP environment by deploying a FlashStack converged infrastructure from Cisco and Pure Storage. The results: SAP performance approaching that of in-memory databases, a faster financial close, more agile business decision-making, and more efficient use of data center and employee resources.

IT Transformation

  • Migration to FlashStack took less than 3 days.
  • Performance dramatically improved for SAP and other applications.
  • IT can now be more strategic, helping the business grow market share.
