M.H. Material Handling empowered its 3D CAD process with Fibre Channel storage and achieved disaster recovery with fast, automatic backups and replications.
M.H. is an Italian company with over 30 years of experience building machines for plant logistics and assembly lines for industries such as food and dairy, pharmaceutical and electromechanical. Thanks to an ingenious modular design, M.H.'s products are easily interchangeable and simple to introduce into existing assembly lines. Backed by the experience and know-how of its engineers and an expanded partner network, M.H. can successfully scale and deliver any kind of industrial production equipment, from single line items to complete assembly and packaging lines, including conveyor systems, buffering systems, mergers and dividers, product handling systems, and tray lifts and denesters.
M.H.'s 3D CAD design work depended on a legacy tape backup solution that delivered weak performance and exposed the company to real risk. Data was lost due to version inconsistencies, and engineers could not easily share CAD files because communication between storage and users was too slow. The result was a fragile foundation for a business whose entire value rests on the integrity and availability of its design data.
The old tape backup delivered weak performance and could not keep pace with a 3D CAD workflow, leaving design data exposed and recovery uncertain.
Version inconsistencies caused real data loss, undermining the integrity of the design files the whole business depends on.
Slow communication between storage and users made it hard for engineers to share CAD files, throttling collaboration on every project.
With only a fragile tape process in place, M.H. had no dependable disaster recovery for the sensitive CAD projects at the core of its value.
M.H. deployed a Syneto storage solution to remove complexity and protect its design data. Legacy servers were virtualised to reduce complexity, data safety was ensured with automatic backups and replications, and the Storage OS Fibre Channel was used to speed up access and unify all data on a single platform. The solution was delivered by Syneto partner ANTEDATA.
The legacy servers were virtualised on the Syneto platform to reduce complexity, consolidate hardware and simplify management of the whole environment.
The Storage OS Fibre Channel was used to speed up access to 3D CAD files and unify all data, so engineers can open, modify and share their designs without the slow storage-to-user communication of the old setup.
Fast, automatic backups replaced the weak legacy tape solution, ending the data loss caused by version inconsistencies and removing the maintenance burden of the old process.
Automatic replications protect the design data and deliver true disaster recovery, ensuring sensitive CAD projects remain safe and recoverable.
With its servers virtualised, CAD access accelerated over Fibre Channel and data protected by automatic backups and replications, M.H. Material Handling replaced a fragile legacy setup with a unified Syneto storage platform that safeguards its 3D design work.
