Case Study: Coughlan Companies achieves 25-50% performance improvement and 300:1 capacity savings with HPE SimpliVity

Coughlan Companies - Customer Case Study

Coughlan Companies, a medium‑sized consumer products firm, faced a capacity upgrade that triggered a platform review and revealed that managing multiple vendors and solutions was workable but not ideal. They sought infrastructure modernization and better support for remote/branch offices while running core services like file/print servers and domain controllers.

They deployed HPE SimpliVity OmniCube hyperconverged infrastructure (SimpliVity 380) to consolidate hardware and unify management. The rollout delivered 25–50% performance gains, more than 300:1 capacity savings, reduced workload deployment time from up to a week to a single day, and realized measurable value within one week; native data protection, inline dedupe/compression, VM‑centric vCenter management, the hyperconverged appliance, and global federated management were all rated extremely valuable.
