Case Study: Shell achieves seamless high-performance data migration with Synology HD6500

Shell migrates 450TB+ in just over 3 weeks with Synology

Shell, a global energy and petrochemical company, needed to upgrade its data storage infrastructure. Their existing Synology RC18015xs+ system was running out of space and experiencing decreased performance, posing a challenge to their global operations that required a more powerful and scalable solution.

Synology Inc. implemented its HD6500 storage solution, which was configured with 512GB RAM and 670TB of storage. The migration of over 450TB of data was completed in just over three weeks with no business outage or data loss. The result was a significant performance increase, with data transfer rates reaching up to 1 GB/s, which greatly improved the handling of large datasets and exceeded Shell's initial expectations for the upgrade.
