Case Study: Global Iconic Apparel and Goods Manufacturer achieves scalable remote work storage with Insight

Supporting Tens of Thousands of Users With Scalable Storage in the Cloud

Global Iconic Apparel and Goods Manufacturer, an iconic apparel company with more than 75,000 employees worldwide, needed to rapidly support a suddenly expanded remote workforce during COVID-19. Its existing VDI environment was under clear capacity and utilization strain, and the company also wanted to move away from a CapEx-based data center model toward cloud services. Insight provided rapid consulting support and solution design, centered on Pure Storage as a Service delivered by Managed Services.

Insight built and delivered the pay-as-you-go storage solution in fewer than 48 business hours, with contracts signed on Friday and implementation starting the following Monday. The result gave the customer cloud-like storage consumption without owned hardware or long-term commitments, while supporting tens of thousands of remote users and improving productivity and user satisfaction. The company also achieved lower storage costs than cloud alternatives and gained a flexible platform it can expand as needed.
