Case Study: BMW Group achieves seamless storage migration and major cost savings with Hitachi Vantara

Hitachi Vantara Boosts Cost Savings With Seamless Storage Migration

BMW Group worked with Hitachi Vantara to upgrade its aging storage environment without disrupting production. The automotive manufacturer needed to migrate 12 sites across 8 countries and 4 continents, supporting 1,700 physical servers, while maintaining business continuity. The project used Hitachi Vantara’s EverFlex managed services, Storage on Demand, and storage migration expertise.

Hitachi Vantara delivered a seamless migration using proven processes, nondisruptive migration technology, and a strict change management framework. The transition was completed without downtime, on budget, and ahead of schedule. The new Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G1500 reduced footprint by 70% and power consumption by 80%, helping BMW Group lower storage costs and improve sustainability.
