Case Study: Trespa International eliminates factory VDI disruptions and boosts data‑warehouse performance with Pure Storage

Trespa Builds a Strong Storage Infrastructure with Pure Storage Arrays

Trespa International, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of high-quality facade and interior panels with about 600 employees and €200M in annual revenue, faced frequent production disruptions because its legacy storage couldn’t support a VMware VDI environment for 125 automated production stations. The VDI froze roughly twice a month, the email journal (1.2M messages) was nearly impossible to open, and an Oracle/SAP data warehouse ran slowly, all of which impeded operations and decision-making.

Trespa trialed and then deployed Pure Storage FlashArray//m20 systems with Evergreen Storage support, quickly eliminating VDI interruptions and cutting latency from ~1 second to under 1 millisecond. The data warehouse ran 30% faster, the email mailbox became accessible in seconds, data reduction reached as much as 18:1, and the arrays now support 400 simultaneous VDI users—delivering smoother operations, more than €100,000 in annual savings from avoided downtime, and predictable, non‑disruptive upgrades that reduce long‑term CAPEX.
