Case Study: Globe Products Company achieves reliable, low-maintenance VMware NAS and fast SAP performance with Buurst

Reliable, Low-Maintenance NAS for VMware Allows Globe to Focus on its Customers and Business

Globe Products Company suffered repeated outages after using a cheap D-Link NAS with failing drives and long rebuild times, culminating in a ransomware infection of the domain controller and failed backups that left SAP and other critical systems down for weeks and disrupted customers and business operations.

On the recommendation of its IT consultants, Globe implemented a VMware-based solution using an HP DL380 with SAS drives and SoftNAS Professional configured in RAID 10, scheduled snapshots, and encrypted SnapReplicate to a remote SoftNAS VM at the consultant’s data center. The $12k implementation (about 4 TB usable) delivered reliable, low‑maintenance storage, faster SAP performance, quick snapshot-based recovery, and offsite replication for full failover and business continuity.
