Hexagon is a global leader in digital reality solutions, helping organizations optimize their processes and workflows. Within Europe, the internal IT department provides support to two divisions: Asset Lifecycle Intelligence (ALI) and Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial (SIG). IT plays a crucial role here. Systems must be stable, secure and fast to maximize efficiency and support innovation.
Customer perspective
A powerful storage solution
To modernize the IT environment, the decision was made to consolidate. Hexagon engaged Databalance to select the best storage solution. After a thorough analysis, the organization chose the Dell PowerStore 1000T and PowerVault ME5012. This cluster provides the speed and efficiency needed to support critical processes. “Previously, we were working with 12 separate servers. Management was inefficient and outdated hardware caused performance problems.”
Innovation and scalability
Switching to the PowerStore 1000T brought immediately measurable improvements. Latency dropped from 4-5 milliseconds to 0.5 milliseconds, with peaks no higher than 1-2 milliseconds. In addition, test data flushing is now five times faster. As a result, employees can work more productively and IT can focus on strategic innovations. “Hexagon is an innovative organization. Our new storage solution must not only meet today’s requirements, but also be ready for the future.”
To ensure business continuity, Hexagon chose Dell ProSupport with 4H Mission Critical. This ensures that critical issues are resolved within four hours. In addition, the storage cluster ensures that all sites in the EMEA region can work seamlessly with internal IT services.
