Case Study: English Biscuit Manufacturers achieves simplified management and reliable storage with Sangfor HCI and aStor

English Biscuit Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

The customer, English Biscuit Manufacturers (EBM), Pakistan's leading biscuit manufacturer, was facing significant challenges with its legacy IT infrastructure. Running critical applications on aging hardware from multiple vendors led to frequent performance issues, high maintenance costs, and complex management. EBM required a new solution to overcome hardware lock-in, eliminate inefficient support from various OEMs, and replace expensive third-party backup and disaster recovery products.

Sangfor Technologies provided a solution using their Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) and aStor products. This involved deploying a full software suite and new hardware at both primary and disaster recovery sites. The implementation provided EBM with unified multi-site management, a vastly reduced data center footprint, and flexible, hardware-agnostic scaling. Sangfor's built-in backup and DR eliminated the need for third-party solutions, and their single-vendor support resolved previous issues with finger-pointing. The result was a streamlined, high-performance infrastructure with comprehensive local support.
