Case Study: MacLean‑Fogg achieves always-on, converged IT and faster recovery with NetApp FlexPod
A NetApp Case Study
Gaining a Competitive Edge and Happy Customers with Converged, Always-On IT
MacLean‑Fogg Company, a family‑owned global manufacturer with 32 sites and two divisions supplying power systems and engineered components, needed to modernize an aging IT estate to support 24/7 manufacturing, strict SLAs and centralized management of critical ERP and production applications without disrupting operations.
The company standardized on a prevalidated FlexPod Datacenter (Cisco UCS, NetApp, VMware) paired with Veeam Availability Suite v8 and deployed it with zero operational impact. The converged solution let one systems engineer manage ~450 VMs, cut typical backups from ~45 minutes to under 60 seconds via storage‑snapshot integration, and added fast recovery and DR (NetApp SnapMirror and Veeam replication), improving resiliency, on‑time delivery and customer satisfaction.
