Results

Business Transformation

Zieglerschen has replaced its storage environment with a FlashStack converged infrastructure solution. With the new high-performance storage environment, operation, maintenance and updates of central reports are all performed significantly faster. And thanks to NVMe, the company has achieved a significant reduction of time to access clinical applications, allowing better patient care.

IT Transformation

The FlashStack solution accelerated time-to-value for the company's IT infrastructure projects. Physical management of the storage environment is now much easier.
The storage environment is high-performance and NVMe enables very high workload speed on Flash arrays. Depending on the workload, data is processed much faster and SAP runs smoothly.
Pure Storage's solution is characterized by significantly lower power and data center space requirements and better ease of use.

"Simplicity is the biggest plus of FlashStack and there's nothing like it. The effort for us is almost zero! Everything is very intuitive, there is hardly any need for management. This allows us to better use our resources and team for innovation and more strategic tasks."
