Panasonic Electric Works Turkey positioned the HPE Simplivity Gen10 server architecture solution with BBS consultancy. The gains also showed themselves quickly. Up to 90% data storage savings were achieved with data compression and deduplication technology. The recovery time from backup, which used to take an average of 45 minutes - 1 hour, decreased to an average of 2 minutes.

Operating in its industrial facilities in Istanbul, Panasonic Electric Works Turkey carries out its activities with a clear goal: To deliver innovative products and solutions that provide comfort, security and energy efficiency to world markets and to offer a better and more comfortable 'life' with human-oriented approaches. Hasan Arslan, General Manager of Panasonic Electric Works Turkey Information Technology, stated that they included VİKO, the industry's leading brand and has "Super Brand" status, with the investment realized in 2014 as a reflection of this philosophy, and shared the following information:

The benefits showed themselves
 
Panasonic Electric Works This power and developing needs of Turkey necessitated some investments in informatics. At this point, Panasonic Electric Works Turkey decided to invest in Bilgi Birikim Sistemleri (BBS) with the aim of supporting its existing servers to meet current and constantly evolving corporate needs in a targeted manner. As a reflection of this strategic targeting, a transition was made from the traditional server architecture to the HP Simplivty server architecture, which provides a hyper-integrated server architecture. A while ago, Simplivty servers were upgraded to the new generation hyper-integrated server architecture. Hasan Arslan explained the benefits achieved quickly and clearly with this investment as follows:
 
“We have achieved gains such as rapid horizontal expansion, scaleblity and flexibility. While making a copy of a server is down to seconds, backing up a server and restoring operations are down to minutes, depending on size. "In addition, we had the opportunity to store our instant, minute, hourly, daily and weekly backups in our local and remote locations for the long term, with the policies required by the institution."

Seamless transition was achieved
 
Looking at the corporate development that highlights the need for investment, Panasonic Electric Works Turkey decided to move forward in hyper-integrated architecture in parallel with the needs analysis it has implemented within itself. After making this corporate decision, we quickly started to analyze the current situation together with BBS and started the product and brand selection processes according to the list of needs in the analysis. “As a result of our research, we decided on the HPE Simplivity product, which is the best solution. Hasan Arslan stated that "We prepared a project plan with BBS, one of HPE's competent business partners, and quickly started implementation work." He explained the benefits and advantages of cooperation with BBS as follows:
 
“We planned a seamless transition with the preliminary work we did. In order to ensure that the IT systems we used during the transition were not affected, BBS made very accurate planning and aimed to move the system while it was live. The migration of our servers happened quickly without interruption. Our team members overcame unnecessary waiting times and began to use both their business units' time and their own time more efficiently. We managed to work very closely and as a single team with BBS, from the sales process to the correct installation and maintenance of the relevant equipment in our systems. Their preparedness for negative situations and their ability to produce fast and accurate solutions to some of our changing requests during the process proved that we chose the right project partner.”
 
Panasonic Electric Works Turkey acted with the goal and priority of positioning the right investment within the company throughout the entire process, starting from the idea phase of the project to bidding and finalization. The awareness that expert consultant staff should work with the right equipment in order to see the added value of investments in parallel with corporate growth in the future came to the fore in this study. As a reflection of this perspective, Hasan Arslan emphasized that they managed to position the product and consultancy correctly with the expert opinions received from BBS.




An architecture that provides insight
 
Within the scope of the investment realized with BBS consultancy, old generation servers that may cause performance problems for some applications were renewed. A significant time advantage and success was achieved in backup and return operations. While data storage capacity problems were eliminated, an architecture suitable for corporate capacity and growth plans was implemented. All performance problems were overcome with the HPE Simplivity Gen10 server architecture solution. With the 50% increase in capacities and the deduplication and compression technology provided by the system, it was possible to store a lot of data in a very small space. This brought about significant savings and flexibility on a corporate basis. In addition, it was possible to instantly observe capacity increases and make forward-looking growth plans. It is now possible to make much earlier predictions about IT investments and to contribute to corporate cash flow and budget planning.
