How three manufacturing companies gained an edge by leveraging a hybrid cloud storage solution
By Ben Clark
At a typical global manufacturing company - ACME Industries as a hypothetical example - IT leaders find themselves at a crossroads , realizing the imperative need to overhaul their infrastructure for enhanced resilience .
Within the company ’ s factory , PLM applications , IoT-connected machines , and smart factory tools continuously generate vast amounts of unstructured data . This data , essential for informed decision-making , must be stored , protected , shared , and archived effectively . However , ACME finds itself at odds with its existing traditional file storage infrastructure , including Windows File Servers , Network Attached Storage ( NAS ), backups , and more , which were not originally designed to handle the complexities of modern manufacturing .
Faced with these evolving challenges and recognizing the pressing needs for security , growth , and the efficient movement of critical data , ACME is now exploring solutions to transform its IT infrastructure .
