Case Study: Large Grocery Retailer achieves faster pharmacy service and enhanced data security with NetApp E-Series E2700

Large Retailer Improves Pharmacy Service and Enhances Data Security

A large U.S. grocery retailer with more than 200 stores and in‑store pharmacies needed to standardize storage to fix performance problems with its pharmacy management system, strengthen protection of customers’ personally identifiable information at rest, and provide scalable capacity to archive IP‑camera video. The company sought a solution that was easy to deploy, manage, and scale as stores and data grew.

The retailer deployed NetApp E-Series E2700/E2724 arrays in dual‑controller configurations with Dynamic Disk Pools and SANtricity management, enabling full disk encryption for data at rest. The result: faster pharmacy transactions and improved customer service, stronger data security without performance loss, centralized management that lets IT equip ~10 stores per week and reclaim staff time, cost‑effective video archiving at scale, and greater reliability and compliance.
