Case Study: Mansfield Oil achieves zero downtime for core business applications with NetApp clustered Data ONTAP

Mansfield Oil Keeps Fuel Deliveries Flowing Without Planned or Unplanned Downtime

Mansfield Oil, a leading privately held energy supplier that delivers more than 3.5 billion gallons of fuel annually, needed to keep its core business applications running 24/7 to support rapid deliveries and superior customer service. Recurring outages and an upcoming move to a new data center threatened that always‑on objective, so the technology team sought a highly available, redundant infrastructure that could be migrated with minimal disruption.

Mansfield partnered with NetApp to deploy active‑active FAS8040 systems running clustered Data ONTAP, SnapMirror replication, Flash Cache, and VMware virtualization, and engaged NetApp Professional Services for a seamless weekend migration. The result: zero downtime for core applications since the cutover, a 50% reduction in time to market for new services, improved customer and employee satisfaction, and greater agility for upgrades, migrations, and disaster recovery.
