High-Performance Storage Increases Productivity, Lowers Costs

Customer:

Ascendas-Singbridge Group’s previous hard-disk storage system had shortcomings in supporting its virtualization strategy and key financial-reporting applications. After installing all-flash arrays from Pure Storage, performance for end-users have sharply improved. The new storage has also simplified storage management for its IT staff, and cut capital and operating costs.

Challenges:

• Response times slowed considerably during peak processing loads.
• Company-wide virtualization and move to hybrid-cloud strategy required a new storage strategy.

Use Case:

• Virtual Server Infrastructure – VMware vSphere®
• Database – Microsoft SQL Server®

Business Transformation:

• Employees, customers and business partners across Asia have easy, fast access to the data and applications they depend on. Key financial reports are ready in far less time. And the company can now implement productivity-enhancing applications in data analytics and business intelligence.

IT Transformation:

• Time to prepare key reports cut by more than 75%.
• New storage uses one-quarter the rack space of previous system, while providing greater capacity.
• Pure Storage arrays integrate seamlessly with both cloud and colocation center providers.
