HPE Nimble Storage dHCI delivers 70 percent better efficiency
when managing orders for National Tree Company
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced that the
National Tree Company, a large manufacturer of artificial holiday
décor, has restructured their IT infrastructure with HPE Nimble
Storage dHCI for better performance when processing customer
orders. National Tree Company joins a growing number of companies
that have selected HPE Nimble Storage dHCI to deliver breakthrough
simplicity and efficiency. In Q4 earnings results, HPE announced
that HPE Nimble Storage dHCI grew revenues by 280%
year-over-year.
National Tree Company is a leading importer and wholesaler of
artificial holiday and outdoor decorations. With the recent
introduction of an expanded product line to include year-round
seasonal decorations, the family owned company was in need of a
major IT infrastructure overhaul in order to keep up with customer
demand. Previously a brick and mortar business, National Tree
Company has been moving to an online model as part of their digital
transformation initiative, lending to a high demand for a virtual
desktop infrastructure, and a system that could support the
company’s growth.
HPE Nimble Storage dHCI and partner PKA Technology helped
National Tree Company on its digital transformation journey, moving
from mostly manual business operations, to interconnecting their
warehouses and speeding up their entire printing and shipping
process. With HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, National Tree Company is now
able to print and process orders as needed, in as little as 20
minutes, compared to overnight, leading to a 70 percent increase in
production, and eliminating backorders. This has drastically
improved the entire workflow for warehouse processing and order
printing, allowing National Tree Company to get shipments out the
door and to their customers faster.
“The words ‘busy season' will become obsolete for us as faster
order processing allows us to operate and make decisions for the
business more quickly,” said Jason Grenard, Director of IT,
National Tree Company. “A quicker system has changed the way we
live and work by making disruptions and complex infrastructure
management a thing of the past, allowing us to sleep better, think,
and focus on the business.”
The previous IBM systems National Tree Company was running
restricted them to processing customer orders at a cap. Since
implementing HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, a disaggregated
hyperconverged infrastructure platform that overcomes the
limitations of traditional infrastructure with intelligent
management, easier scalability, and cloud data protection, National
Tree Company software developers removed the cap, and are
processing orders as they come in.
“HPE has always come through at every organization I have worked
at,” said Grenard. “The marriage of HPE servers and Nimble Storage
with HPE InfoSight is perfect. It gives me a holistic view of
everything that we needed to see to continue building our data
center.”
Utilizing HPE InfoSight, the industry’s most advanced AI for
infrastructure, enables National Tree Company to gain insights into
virtual machine performance, how servers are performing on any
given day, and capacity utilization. HPE StoreOnce is also being
implemented for secure backups and data protection.
“HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is faster and a better price point than
what we were paying before,” said Grenard. “And, I have the
security that my environment is working the way it should with HPE
InfoSight.”
HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is a category-defining platform powered
with artificial intelligence. HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is designed
from the ground up to deliver the HCI experience, but with more
flexibility and better resiliency and performance than traditional
HCI. Organizations like PetSure and Central Pacific Bank are
choosing HPE Nimble Storage dHCI over competitive HCI platforms for
business-critical apps and mixed-workloads due to the better
performance, resiliency, efficiency and total cost of
ownership.
