Case Study: King Price Insurance achieves 25–50% performance boost and 100:1–200:1 storage savings with HPE SimpliVity

King Price Insurance - Customer Case Study

King Price Insurance, a medium-sized South African insurer, faced slow deployment times and the burden of managing multiple vendors and solutions that couldn’t keep pace with demand or available staff. These operational constraints drove the company to evaluate a more consolidated, easier-to-manage infrastructure.

King Price deployed HPE SimpliVity OmniCube to run production and test/dev workloads (including Microsoft SQL Server and industry-specific apps), consolidating compute, storage and data services. The solution delivered 25–50% performance improvements, 100:1–200:1 capacity savings, cut provisioning time from weeks/months to days/weeks, and provided measurable value within one week to one month; VM-centric management, inline dedupe/compression and integrated data protection were rated highly valuable.
