Case Study: INFICON achieves 4x capacity utilization and 50% storage cost reduction with DataCore Software

Software-Defined Storage with DataCore – A Game Changer at INFICON

INFICON, a global leader in instrumentation and sensor technologies, was struggling with rapidly increasing storage demand (its mail server was growing about 7 GB per day) and poor capacity utilization. To address this, INFICON deployed DataCore’s software‑defined storage solution, SANsymphony‑V, to move from hardware‑centric siloed storage to a hardware‑agnostic, virtualized storage architecture.

DataCore virtualized and pooled INFICON’s diverse storage, enabling thin provisioning, real‑time synchronous replication and DRAM caching to boost performance and resilience. The result: roughly 4x greater capacity utilization, about a 50% reduction in storage costs, a dramatic decrease (reported as up to 90%) in time spent on routine storage tasks and essentially eliminated storage‑related downtime — all delivered by DataCore’s SANsymphony‑V platform.
