Transforming IT Infrastructure for Scalability, Security, and Business Continuity
Pharmaceutical
A global pharmaceutical company required an optimized IT infrastructure to support innovation, regulatory compliance, and rapid expansion. By implementing a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution, the company enhanced performance, scalability, and business continuity. This transformation resulted in recovery time reduction from 48 hours to under 60 seconds, a 90% decrease in data storage requirements, and accelerated innovation, enabling 50 ANDA filings per year (up from 20).
Client Overview
