Case Study: GlassHouse Systems accelerates store launches and cuts infrastructure costs with IBM Power Virtual Server

GlassHouse Systems helps a retailer streamline deployments and cut costs with IBM Power Virtual Server

GlassHouse Systems helped a leading auto parts retailer that was struggling with slow, resource-intensive store deployments and rising infrastructure costs as it expanded across the U.S. Its on-premises point-of-sale and warehouse management systems were reliable but hard to scale, making it difficult to onboard new stores quickly while maintaining strong data protection. GlassHouse Systems used IBM Power Virtual Server on IBM Cloud to address these challenges.

IBM and GlassHouse Systems migrated the retailer’s infrastructure to a hybrid cloud environment across two regions with backup and disaster recovery replication. The result was onboarding new stores in minutes instead of weeks or months, improved scalability and lower latency, plus more than a 40% reduction in infrastructure costs. IBM and GlassHouse Systems also improved resiliency and created a stronger foundation for future growth.
