Case Study: AS ONE Corporation achieves rapid VDI deployment and simplified management with Cisco HyperFlex

Strengthening the virtual desktop infrastructure environment for all employees

AS ONE Corporation, a Osaka‑based wholesale trade firm with about 485 employees, needed to build a high‑performance, easy‑to‑manage virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for all staff while cutting construction costs, worker hours, and operational burden. After evaluating hyperconverged options, AS ONE Corporation selected the Cisco HyperFlex system to replace a prior server‑and‑storage silo approach and scale VDI from an initial ~100 terminals toward support for the full workforce.

Cisco HyperFlex delivered an integrated compute‑storage‑network solution with a single management console, enabling rapid deployment (the product was set up in about 30 minutes) and significantly faster roll‑out (internal implementation tasks finished in one day, engineers completed work two weeks later). Using Cisco HyperFlex, AS ONE Corporation expanded VDI to roughly 250 terminals, achieved greater stability and single‑pane monitoring of all components, reduced daily operational burden, and plans to extend VDI to all employee terminals within the fiscal year.
