Case Study: EFU Life achieves higher availability and simplified IT operations with Sangfor HCI and aStor

EFU Life - Customer Case Study

EFU Life, Pakistan's leading private-sector life and health insurer, faced significant IT challenges with its outdated and complex 3-tier infrastructure. The legacy system, running on VMware with HPE storage, suffered from consistent performance issues, high maintenance costs, and hardware vendor lock-in. EFU Life required a more agile, available, and cost-effective solution to support its critical applications, including its client portals and point-of-sale systems.

Sangfor Technologies implemented its Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) and aStor solutions. This provided a modernized, software-defined data center that was hardware-agnostic, allowing EFU Life to reuse existing servers. The solution consolidated compute, storage, and networking, integrating a virtual firewall and built-in disaster recovery. The results included the elimination of infrastructure downtime, a drastic reduction in the data center footprint, and streamlined support from a single vendor, Sangfor, leading to enhanced performance and operational simplicity.
