Case Study: Plex Systems achieves 2-hour disaster recovery and 75% storage reduction with NetApp

Plex Systems Delivers World- Class Manufacturing ERP Cloud on NetApp Storage Customer

Plex Systems, maker of Plex Online SaaS ERP for manufacturers, needed to maintain a world‑class, cost‑effective data center while tightening business continuity. With a lean IT team and rising customer expectations, the company sought a consistent storage platform across primary and secondary sites that would automate management, improve performance, and significantly reduce recovery time and point objectives.

Plex deployed NetApp FAS6280 systems and NetApp software (OnCommand, Flash Cache, Snapshot/SnapMirror/SnapVault, deduplication and thin provisioning) with financing from NetApp Capital Solutions. The solution averted $2.7M in upfront costs, cut RPOs/RTOs from 24 to 2 hours, reduced storage requirements by as much as 75%, and delivered improved performance, automation, and tested disaster recovery for its ERP services.
