Case Study: Beam Suntory achieves scalable, consolidated file services and lower TCO with Cohesity

Leading Global Beverage Producer Relies on Cohesity for Scale Out Storage Solution

Beam Suntory, a global leader in distilled beverages with dozens of premium brands and thousands of digital branding assets, faced growing storage and data-protection challenges. Their legacy StorSimple setup lacked native protection, forced costly and high-latency cloud archiving, and didn’t scale to meet collaboration needs for large image and video files—prompting a search for a modern, simple, and resilient secondary storage solution.

Beam Suntory deployed Cohesity C2500 nodes alongside Nutanix and Pure Storage to consolidate file services and data protection on a single, scale-out platform. The move simplified operations with one UI, restored fast on-prem access and near‑instant file recovery, enabled online rolling upgrades, and lowered TCO—effectively making IT “invisible” to the branding teams while future‑proofing storage capacity.
