Challenges

Despite its commercial success, Argentina’s economic situation—characterized by a generalized increase in prices, a weak currency, and rising energy rates—has forced CFA to look for ways to optimize operational costs, including those related to its technology infrastructure. CFA needed to:

Renew its technology infrastructure after hosting data center externally.
Optimize energy and space expenses

Results

Business Transformation

Pure Storage provides a highly available platform to support mission-critical applications while reducing space and power consumption within its data center, resulting in lower operating expenses.

IT Transformation

Reduced data-center space requirements from a complete rack to only three rack units.
Replaced a high power-consuming array, equipped with three or four sources, with a low-consuming one, with two 10amp sources.
Accelerated system processes by up to 9x.
Provided a highly available platform to meet the demands of mission-critical applications.

“The benefits that Pure Storage has offered me are tangible. What Pure is doing is taking care of our investment, its clients, and giving us benefits through deduplication and compression.”
