Case Study: Ferrara Candy Company achieves AI-driven uptime and scalable manufacturing with HPE Nimble Storage

Ferrara Candy Company - Customer Case Study

Ferrara Candy Company — home to 35 iconic brands such as Nerds, Laffy Taffy, SweeTARTS and Keebler — has been growing at hyperscale, producing over a million pounds of Trolli gummies weekly and bringing 19 manufacturing facilities online. That rapid, triple‑digit growth strained its IT, where SAP outages halt invoicing, orders and shipments and create significant, measurable costs.

Partnering with Sayers Technology, Ferrara implemented HPE Nimble Storage and InfoSight for ease of administration and AI‑driven predictive analytics, gaining real‑time visibility into application performance. The change shifted IT from reactive firefighting to proactive monitoring, reduced downtime risk (avoiding a possible 24‑hour SAP outage), improved support outcomes, and delivered measurable cost avoidance and more manageable IT workloads.
