Case Study: Bergendahls Food achieves scalable, high-performance, reliable storage to fuel expansion with NetApp FAS8040HA

Bergendahls Food underpins drive to become Sweden’s top food retailer by upgrading storage platform to NetApp FAS8040HA

Bergendahls Food, part of the family-owned Bergendahl Group with 40 stores across Sweden, set out to become the country’s top food retailer. Rapid growth and a planned migration from IBM ERP to SAP exposed limits in its legacy NetApp storage (in place since 2009), creating a need for a scalable, high‑availability platform to avoid downtime and support data‑driven operations.

The company upgraded to a NetApp solution—primary FAS8040HA clustered with Data ONTAP and Flash Cache plus a FAS2240 secondary for backups and distributed sites—which delivered 10GbE performance, consistent 24/7 reliability, and lower space, power, and cost requirements. The platform underpins SAP and business‑intelligence work (analyzing ~150,000 daily receipts), provides robust backup and fast performance, and gives a scalable foundation for future expansion.
