Case Study: Rafa Laboratories achieves 30% better performance and 4.3x greater efficiency with NetApp HCI

Rafa enhances production efficiency and performance with HCI

Rafa, one of Israel’s leading pharmaceutical companies and a partner to global firms, faced rising operational complexity from separate storage and compute systems at its manufacturing site. To maintain product quality, improve efficiency and ensure stable, scalable infrastructure, the company sought a reliable hyperconverged solution.

Working with Bynet, Rafa deployed NetApp HCI (4 storage + 4 compute nodes) in two weeks, integrating it with ERP, SAP, BI and other critical systems. The all‑flash HCI delivered a 30% performance boost and 4.3x greater efficiency, simplified management with a single GUI, and provided scalable, QoS‑driven infrastructure that supports future growth and disaster recovery planning.
