Case Study: Frigoscandia SPA achieves always-on availability and SLA compliance to grow market share with Stratus Technologies' everRun

Leading Italian Frozen Food Distributor Relies On Stratus’ ALWAYS-ON SOFTWARE To Meet Slas And Grow Market Share

Frigoscandia SPA is a leading Italian frozen‑food distributor delivering 17 million cartons a year to major supermarkets. Facing strict SLAs and legal requirements after moving to new premises, the company struggled with a complex Microsoft cluster/Fujitsu storage setup across two data centers 1,000 m apart—experiencing replication problems, too many physical servers and difficult management. ACME Consulting was engaged to find a solution that would preserve both sites for disaster recovery, virtualize the environment, reduce server count and deliver always‑on reliability.

ACME implemented Stratus everRun Enterprise on standard Fujitsu x86 servers (dual 10‑core Intel Xeon, 96 GB RAM) with upgraded 10 Gb links and two physical domain controllers. The deployment virtualized the entire infrastructure, cut the number of servers, simplified backup and recovery, and was quick to install and easy to manage. everRun delivered the continuous availability Frigoscandia needed to meet SLAs, protect supply‑chain operations and support ongoing market‑share growth.
