M&S faces the challenge of ensuring that thousands of food replenishment orders are delivered every day, and identified data storage and management as a critical area that could impact overnight batch processing

To solve this challenge, M&S selected two Hitachi Virtual Storage Platforms (VSP) G1000 systems with hybrid flash, capable of replacing multiple devices throughout the systems infrastructure. VSP G1000 models provide immense scalability combined with high storage performance, based on a clean systems architecture that helps to cut operational costs

HDS solutions eliminated the risk of late delivery for M&S and included migration of around 750TB of data over a period of six months

Mark Dickinson, Head of Technology Operations and Infrastructure, commented: “Not only did we provide food orders on time every day with the HDS solutions, but also the hugely improved technical performance meant that processing overnight food orders regularly beat the deadline by over two hours, a 35% improvement”.
