Case Study: Surrey Place Centre achieves 50-75% performance gains and 50:1–100:1 capacity savings with HPE SimpliVity

Surrey Place Centre - Customer Case Study

Surrey Place Centre, a non-profit organization, faced the burden of managing multiple vendors and needed to implement disaster recovery and improve backup/recovery for its virtualized environment. Seeking simpler, faster protection and management, they evaluated and selected HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure.

By consolidating the data center and modernizing infrastructure with HPE SimpliVity—running production apps like Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and industry-specific systems—they cut provisioning time from weeks/months to up to one day and realized value within 1 week to 1 month. Results included 50–75% performance improvement, 50:1–100:1 capacity savings, and strong benefits from global federated management, VM-centric vCenter integration, inline dedupe/compression and integrated data protection.
