Case Study: Spark Minda Technical Centre achieves 50% faster ERP response and reclaims 80% capacity with Cisco HyperFlex

Scalability agility and reliability of Cisco HyperFlex enables business transformation at Spark Minda

Spark Minda Technical Centre, a leading automotive components manufacturer in India, needed an IT backbone for a new lean R&D facility in Chakan that was easy to deploy, simple to maintain, and capable of remote virtualization, server and storage management. After evaluating multiple hyperconverged systems against criteria like ease of management, vCenter integration, networking integration, support and cost‑benefit, Spark Minda chose Cisco HyperFlex (deploying Cisco HyperFlex Systems and the Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform).

Cisco HyperFlex delivered a hyperconverged, end‑to‑end solution that was deployed in days and centralized DC networking, servers, storage and virtualization under a single console with one TAC for support. The Cisco HyperFlex implementation improved ERP response time by 50%, reclaimed almost 80% of capacity, reduced downtime significantly, and enabled Spark Minda to manage operations with limited IT staff while providing a scalable platform for future upgrades.
