Case Study: Worcester County Sheriff's Office achieves data center consolidation, 90% fewer servers and reliable backup & DR with HPE SimpliVity

Worcester County Sheriff’s Office - Customer Case Study

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, which supports 550 staff and runs mission‑critical applications (jail management, Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint), was operating on an aging HP infrastructure of 16 servers and complex SANs with no automated backup or disaster recovery, a large data center footprint, and ongoing performance and data‑loss risk.

The office deployed SimpliVity OmniCube (three CN‑3000s across two on‑campus sites), cutting the projected HP cost roughly in half and consolidating three full racks down to one while reducing hosts by about 90%. The hyperconverged platform delivers automated, policy‑based daily backups with minute‑level RTOs, inline deduplication/compression and offsite replication, a 75% reduction in memory use, simplified management, and ample capacity for future growth.
