Case Study: Toll Group achieves zero-interruption storage upgrades with Hitachi Data Systems

Toll Group Upgrades to Hitachi Storage to Ship Business Benefits Nationally

Toll Group, a leading transport and logistics provider, needed to replace disparate, end-of-life storage systems after acquisitions and rapid data growth strained its IT environment. To support 24/7 financial and transactional systems and future expansion, Toll Group evaluated vendors including Hitachi Data Systems and needed a solution that could deliver easier migration, higher capacity, and uninterrupted service.

Hitachi Data Systems implemented Hitachi NAS Platform, Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform, and Hitachi Command Suite to simplify migration and improve storage virtualization and management. The result was a cost-neutral transition completed on time with zero business interruption, plus significant gains in performance, scale, and reliability; for example, backup time fell from 12 hours to 4 hours, and Toll Group was able to complete an additional storage upgrade within a month of the original installation.
