Case Study: Savencia Fromage & Dairy achieves high availability and streamlined IT management with VMware vSphere and vSAN

Dairy producer Savencia streamlines IT operations with virtualization

Savencia Fromage & Dairy, a global dairy producer headquartered in Prague with four production facilities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, faced the need to guarantee high availability for mission‑critical production servers while reducing local maintenance costs and simplifying IT management across dispersed sites.

Partnering with DPDC, Savencia implemented a hyper‑converged VMware solution using vSphere and vSAN (two vSAN nodes per site with a central witness and vCenter for single‑pane management), replacing local SAN arrays and adopting storage‑as‑a‑service. The deployment delivered built‑in high availability, streamlined administration, lower maintenance and leasing‑based costs, and greater agility for easy expansion—protecting production lines and simplifying day‑to‑day IT operations.
