Challenge

Magellan Robotech needed to upgrade its storage infrastructure to meet increasing performance and capacity demands. The boxxe Group challenge was to find a solution that not only provided the necessary performance but also improved disaster recovery capabilities. Additionally, the solution needed to be cost-effective and efficient, ensuring minimal disruption during the migration process.

Plan

The boxxe Group team provided commercial and technical assistance throughout the procurement process, helping Magellan Robotech select the HPE Nimble storage solution. The plan included arranging demos, vendor meetings, and providing consultative advice to ensure the selected solution met all the company’s requirements.

Approach

Magellan Robotech chose the HPE HF20 Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Array, a cost-effective combination of primary and secondary flash designed for mixed, mainstream workloads. The boxxe Group’s team used their knowledge and experience to ensure a smooth migration, addressing any practical difficulties that arose.

Outcome

The new array has met Magellan Robotech’s demands for performance and capacity, with intelligent, self-managing features providing an efficient and optimised solution. The improved disaster recovery capabilities ensure that all data is replicated to a secondary Nimble array, enhancing the company’s resilience against potential threats.

The boxxe Group is one of our principal suppliers, and we have a longstanding relationship with boxxe's account manager, so we asked them to advise us and help us make the right choice. 

We had a ransomware attack a year or so ago that highlighted some areas to strengthen. We were able to fully recover without paying the ransom but have subsequently enhanced backup and encryption, and the HPE storage is enabling us to set up the right level of DR, with everything replicated to the second Nimble array.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the boxxe Group in terms of the level of support they provide, their commercial ability to negotiate good rates with suppliers, and their technical expertise, which enables them to support our chosen products.
