Case Study: Record Automatische Deuren achieves near‑instant backups and consolidated, simplified IT with HPE SimpliVity

Record Automatische Deuren - Customer Case Study

Record Automatische Deuren, a leading Dutch manufacturer of automatic door systems, faced a fragmented multivendor IT environment after a corporate acquisition. The mix of Oracle, HP and Dell hardware, multiple hypervisors and legacy backup tools created complexity, high costs and slow data protection, leaving business-critical manufacturing, order management and core IT services vulnerable while backups and restores took hours.

On advice from Rhodix IT Services, Record deployed SimpliVity OmniStack on Lenovo System x3650 M5, consolidating two racks into two 2U nodes and unifying management. The deployment cut backup/restore times from hours to minutes or seconds, achieved 86:1 data efficiency, lowered CAPEX/OPEX, enabled hourly backups and remote administration, and delivered higher availability, IT agility and reliability.
