Case Study: Hansen Industrial Transmissions boosts application performance with Pure Storage and Proact

Hansen Industrial Transmissions boosts application performance with Pure Storage and Proact

Hansen Industrial Transmissions (HIT), the Belgian division of Sumitomo Drive Technologies, faced challenges with its aging IT infrastructure. Their storage platform could not provide the necessary performance, causing slow nightly batch jobs and long data access times for users, which began to impact business operations. The company also needed to expand its storage capacity and simplify its complex backup management.

The vendor Proact implemented a Pure Storage FlashArray X20 solution. This resulted in dramatically improved application performance, with batch jobs completing in less than half the time. The system's data reduction capabilities provided a 3.2:1 effective rate, and the intuitive console significantly reduced management complexity. Proact's deployment ensured a seamless, online migration and delivered a fast, reliable storage platform that accelerated business processes and reduced risk for HIT.
