Case Study: Bürklin Elektronik reduces storage costs and streamlines budget planning with Hitachi Vantara

Electronics Distributor Saves Costs and Streamlines Budget Planning with Dynamic Data Storage Service

Bürklin Elektronik, a Germany-based electronics distributor, needed to consolidate fragmented storage platforms, simplify IT operations, and better align storage costs with its hybrid cloud strategy. The company was dealing with multiple vendor systems, complex licensing, inconsistent performance, and a small IT team stretched by time-consuming administration.

Hitachi Vantara addressed these challenges with Hitachi EverFlex, delivered alongside Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) E590 arrays and Brocade G720 SAN switches through partner IS4IT GmbH. The new consumption-based setup improved storage and network performance by more than 2x, delivered 38% annual energy savings, reduced storage administration time, and gave Bürklin Elektronik predictable, flexible costs without a large upfront investment.
