Case Study: Brose Group achieves 50% faster response times and 30% storage cost savings with Hitachi Vantara

Brose Revs Its Growth Engine With Hitachi Solutions

Brose Group, a global automotive supplier, needed to accelerate product innovation while dramatically cutting costs and managing rapidly growing data volumes. To support a massive digital transformation and centralize global IT, Brose turned to Hitachi Vantara for enterprise storage and hybrid‑flash solutions, including the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400 and Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System, as part of a new state‑of‑the‑art data center.

Hitachi Vantara implemented a consolidated, highly efficient storage infrastructure with flash modules that simplified administration and boosted performance. The Hitachi Vantara solution delivered a three‑fold increase in throughput, halved response times for mission‑critical SAP applications, reduced storage costs by 30%, cut the number of physical devices by 50%, freed 66% of rack space and saved about 700,000 kWh per year.
