Case Study: McCoy's Building Supply achieves greater capacity and efficiency with Cima Solutions Group and IBM Storwize V7000

McCoy's Building Supply - Customer Case Study

McCoy’s Building Supply, a large family-owned building supply company, needed to renew maintenance on its aging IBM DS4800 storage system and find a lower-cost, more expandable replacement to support current operations and future growth. Cima Solutions Group evaluated the environment and recommended a solution that would better fit McCoy’s performance and capacity needs.

Cima Solutions Group implemented IBM Storwize V7000, which delivered integrated virtualization, simplified migration from the DS4800, and stronger scalability. The new system consolidated an entire rack into just 6U, increased usable capacity by 85%, and reduced footprint by more than 80%, also lowering power and cooling needs.
