Case Study: Česká spořitelna achieves 100% data availability and 75% lower storage costs with Hitachi Data Systems

Hitachi Virtualization Solutions Bring Ceska sporitelna 100% Data Availability, Excellent Performance and Significant Cost Reduction

Česká spořitelna, the largest bank in the Czech Republic, faced aging storage infrastructure that could no longer meet demanding banking requirements, along with excessively high costs. The bank needed a faster, highly reliable platform for critical applications and virtualization farms, and turned to Hitachi Data Systems and Hitachi Unified Storage VM to address the challenge.

Hitachi Data Systems implemented a flash-based storage solution using Hitachi Unified Storage VM and Hitachi Accelerated Flash, deployed across mirrored locations for 100% data availability. The result was a 75% reduction in data storage costs, up to 40% more capacity, faster performance, and better management automation, helping Česká spořitelna cut downtime risk and improve application speed.
