Keeping pace with the evolving demands
of customers across a range of industries
Founded in 1994, the customer is a leader in pneumatic conveying, leads the market in bulk material handling, control, and gas cleaning solutions. Its industry knowledge and customer-specific collaboration ensure its designs blend flawlessly with its customers’ processes, saving time and reducing costs.

The Challenge
The ageing IT infrastructure was plagued by underperforming servers and inconsistencies across various platforms. Besides, as a relatively smaller business with limited resources, they also needed a time-saving, simpler way to keep their IT infrastructure up to date.
The approach
After reviewing various options, we turned to VMware Cloud Foundation powered by Dell EMC PowerEdge servers. Cloud Foundation is a cutting-edge cloud platform that combines all the components needed to deploy and manage a software-defined data centre (SDDC) in a standardised hyper-converged architecture.
The Solution
VMware Cloud Foundation has increased network security and scalability. With VMware NSX, VMware Cloud Foundation has elevated the hyper-converged infrastructure to new heights. The company opted for VMware Cloud Foundation running on PowerEdge servers for its software-defined data centre. This provides the power, flexibility, and adaptability to meet customer demands and deliver innovative solutions for a range of needs.
The VDI solution—running on Cloud Foundation and PowerEdge servers—was also indispensable as the company responded to the COVID-19 outbreak while maintaining service and support for their valued customers.

The Future
Due to VMware SDDC’s scalability across data centres, the customer is keen to set up disaster recovery and active-active business systems for multiple data centres, to ensure business security and continuity. On this foundation, cloud platform construction will continue. This equips the IT system with rapid deployment, multi-tenant, and self-service capabilities, allowing it to support rapid business expansion to more regions.
