Case Study: Accent Automatisering achieves €60,000 annual data center savings and faster virtualization with Pure Storage

Accent Automatisering - Customer Case Study

Accent Automatisering is a full-service Dutch IT and hosting provider serving SMEs, healthcare and education. Facing rapidly filling storage and the need for higher performance to support expanded virtualization projects, Accent worked with local partner 1Appliance to evaluate options and urgently sought a solution that could be demonstrated in‑site.

They deployed Pure Storage flash systems (initial FA-405, later FA-420) with pay‑as‑you‑grow licensing, which delivered fast provisioning (new server ready in ~20 seconds), consistent read/write performance, and advanced deduplication. The result: nearly 50% less rack space (saving about €60,000/year), faster overnight jobs (up to 90 minutes earlier), higher customer satisfaction, simpler management, and a payback on the investment within two years plus Evergreen upgrade protection.
