Case Study: EPRI achieves high-performance, cost-predictable storage with SHI International Corp.

EPRI avoids a storage overhaul for years with SHI after on-time migration and low-latency gains

EPRI, a nonprofit research organization for the energy sector, faced a challenge as its core data center storage system neared the end of its lease. The existing platform could not meet the performance demands of modern research workloads like GPU-powered computing and data analytics, and EPRI sought to reduce its rack footprint and avoid disruptive, frequent storage refreshes. SHI International Corp. worked with them to right-size a solution using an Everpure storage platform.

The solution implemented by SHI delivered high performance, scalability, and predictable long-term costs. The results were completed on schedule and under budget, with the new platform exceeding performance benchmarks. This provided EPRI with a lasting storage foundation, eliminating the need for another major refresh for years and directly enabling faster results for its researchers.
