Case Study: Major Division of Fortune 100 Technology Firm achieves data center consolidation, native DR and improved VDI with HPE Simplivity

Major Division of Fortune 100 Technology Firm - Customer Case Study

A 450‑employee business unit of a Global 100 technology firm—responsible for product development, testing and global engineering support—was constrained by legacy infrastructure spread across multiple data centers that were already at capacity. The IT team needed to replace aging gear, consolidate footprint, simplify management, enable reliable VDI for remote developers, provide DR/HA, and do all of this on a tight budget and with limited rack space.

They deployed a two‑site SimpliVity OmniCube federation (systems at both primary and DR sites), consolidating functionality, reducing capital expense and reclaiming rack space. The solution delivered native HA/DR, easy VM cloning for faster test/dev workflows, and reliable virtual desktops for remote engineers—boosting productivity, lowering operational complexity, and providing on‑demand scale-out as the team phases out legacy equipment.
