For nearly seven decades Mission Pharmacal Company has been delivering a prescription, over-the-counter, and dietary supplements to fulfill unmet health care needs at every stage of life. The company first learned about DataON products while participating in a Microsoft Hyper-V/clustering training session and were thrilled with their ROI. Prior to the infrastructure change, the company ran Microsoft Hyper-V with SAN infrastructure from Tier 1 storage vendors. When they decided to upgrade the companies, IT infrastructure deployed across (2) data centers supporting 700 users connected to 50 virtualized Hyper-V servers.
The company began by looking for a Microsoft-certified storage platform with failover cluster running Hyper-V while combining the performance and reliability for guaranteed Microsoft enterprise application availability. The company was looking for something that has an easy deployment and scalable hyper-converged appliance that contains a predictable workload and failover capability, with reduced costs and delivers improved performance without dramatically increasing the IT budget.
The Solution: DataON Hardware Appliance For Shared Storage to Optimize Scalability
DataON Microsoft hyper-converged Cluster-in-a-Box (CiB) storage platform engineered from the ground up to scale high-available compute and shared storage services optimized predicable scalability as a turnkey configuration.
Customer Benefits
According to Mission Pharmacal, the deployment experience was easy and simple to setup, and they could see a huge increase in performance compared to the previous solution. By consolidating all the compute and storage in a single hyper-converged storage appliance, the overall hardware footprint was reduced from a 16U rack to now less than 8U and the company could manage all virtualize VM on a single box with compute nodes and shared storage. Mission Pharmacal stated, “The CiB’s allowed us to move our infrastructure off-site to the collocations quickly and painlessly.” The space saving also translated to less electricity, cabling, and cost of maintenance which had the cost at less than 50% of the competing storage solution thru the procurement evaluation process.
