Case Study: Stella & Dot achieves faster, more reliable growth with Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE 3PAR StoreServ

Stella & Dot Speeds Business Growth with Flash

Stella & Dot, a fast‑growing social‑selling fashion accessories and cosmetics company supporting more than 30,000 Independent Business Owners worldwide, needed reliable, high‑performance storage to back global e‑commerce and development systems. Facing an unexpected 92% write / 8% read I/O profile, limited capacity and slower legacy cloud storage, Stella & Dot turned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise and its HPE 3PAR StoreServ family to meet strict uptime, performance and scalability requirements.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise deployed HPE 3PAR StoreServ all‑flash arrays (7450 quad‑controller and 7200 in Europe) with HPE 3PAR software and HPE ProLiant servers, delivering a 20× performance boost over legacy systems, roughly 50% lower comparable cost, and dramatically reduced footprint and power use. The HPE 3PAR Virtual Copy snapshots cut development provisioning from about a day and a half to under two hours, enabling more than twice‑weekly releases, near‑petabyte growth headroom, five‑year SSD endurance warranty and responsive HPE support—directly improving site availability and time‑to‑market.
