Challenges

Silver Star Brands is one of America’s largest direct marketers of gifts and household products. The company processes around 5 million orders every year, with company sales peaking over the holidays. With the approach of a new holiday shopping season, Silver Star Brands needed to replace its high-maintenance storage to handle the increased load and capture critical revenue.

Results

Business Transformation

Supports 5 million orders annually, with no interruption during holiday peaks.
40x lower latency with Pure Storage yields fast, accurate orders.
6x improvement in VM recovery times for increased business resiliency

IT Transformation

Lower latency on Pure Storage improves ERP performance.
Easy management and 5.7:1 compression rates save time and money.
vVols enabled 1:1 relationships for VMs and their storage volumes, improving capacity efficiency and manageability.

“Our experience with Pure Storage and VMware vVols has been awesome! It gets us out of the business of managing storage so we can focus on supporting our catalog business.”
