Case Study: MLB Network achieves 75%+ performance improvement and 200:1–300:1 capacity savings with HPE SimpliVity

MLB Network - Customer Case Study

MLB Network, a large media and entertainment enterprise, needed a flexible development environment for its in-house DIAMOND asset management system and to modernize core infrastructure. Managing multiple vendors and disparate solutions was a significant burden, so the company purchased HPE SimpliVity OmniCube hyperconverged infrastructure to consolidate services and simplify operations.

By running Exchange, SQL Server, VDI and DIAMOND on HPE SimpliVity, MLB Network consolidated its data center and accelerated deployments while leveraging built‑in features like integrated data protection, inline deduplication/compression and VM‑centric vCenter management. The rollout delivered more than 75% performance improvement, 200:1–300:1 capacity savings, and realized measurable value within one week.
