Case Study: Giant Eagle achieves greater uptime and pharmacy data encryption with StorMagic SvSAN and SvKMS

Giant Eagle improves uptime at 200+ pharmacies with StorMagic

Giant Eagle, a major US food and pharmacy retailer, faced a challenge as its existing storage solution neared end of life. The company needed to transform its IT infrastructure across more than 200 in-store pharmacies to a hyper-converged platform with solid-state flash storage and software-based encryption to protect sensitive customer medical data. They selected StorMagic's SvSAN and SvKMS solutions for this upgrade.

StorMagic implemented a three-node cluster configuration with all-flash storage at each pharmacy location. This solution provided high availability, ensuring 100% uptime even if two servers failed, and delivered built-in encryption managed by StorMagic's SvKMS for security. The results included increased application performance, significant cost savings on hardware by requiring fewer servers per store compared to other solutions, and a scalable, centralized key management system that effectively protected sensitive data.
