Case Study: Experian pH London achieves high availability and simplified capacity planning with SUSE Enterprise Storage

Experian Business Information Systems uses software defined storage to manage data boom

Experian pH London, through its Experian Business Information Systems unit, needed to keep pace with explosive growth in Oracle-based data while maintaining 24x7 availability and avoiding the complexity of managing multiple standalone NAS devices. The company wanted a storage approach that would protect business continuity, support future growth, and make better use of existing hardware, so it turned to Suse and SUSE Enterprise Storage with Ceph.

Suse implemented a software-defined storage solution on HPE ProLiant servers using SUSE Enterprise Storage and SUSE Enterprise Linux. The result was a stable, highly available cross-site cluster with better responsiveness, simpler capacity planning, and seamless scalability; Experian reported storage capacity doubling in six months and gained back one full eight-hour working day per week for IT staff, helping lower TCO and free the team to focus on innovation.
