Case Study: Schiavello Group secures business continuity and scalable, centralized data management with Hitachi Vantara

Schiavello and Hitachi Data Systems Build Data Services to Support Rapid Business Growth

Schiavello, an Australia‑based integrated construction and furniture solutions group operating 18 business units, faced rapidly growing and diverse data demands and needed scalable storage and stronger business continuity to support global operations and real‑time, paperless workflows. To meet those requirements and a five‑year growth roadmap, Schiavello selected Hitachi Vantara and chose Hitachi Unified Storage 130 alongside the Hitachi Data Protection Suite.

Hitachi Vantara implemented a two‑stage solution—building an enterprise disaster‑recovery facility and deploying the upgradeable Hitachi Unified Storage 130 with Hitachi Data Protection Suite—delivering the migration with zero business interruption and 99.999% uptime. The solution provided real‑time asynchronous replication between separated data centers, centralized management and reporting, improved compliance and reduced environmental impact (fans now run at ~40% vs 80%), enabling Schiavello to lower risk, scale capacity and pursue further automation and BI initiatives.
