Chapter 01 · Background

Company & challenge.

VEA Cosmetics is part of Hulka, a company founded in 1996 with the goal of developing dermocosmetics products for people with sensitive and reactive skin. From recipes and product information to its management and accounting systems, the business relies on its IT to run every day.

The company set out to consolidate its IT system — finding a single solution able to meet all of the business's computing needs — and to achieve reliable disaster recovery. Before the new infrastructure, in the event of a disaster VEA Cosmetics was able to restore its IT system within 8 to 10 hours, a recovery window that left the business exposed to lost operating time and lost revenue.

Fragmented IT system

Separate systems for virtualization, storage and data protection added complexity to everyday operations.

Slow disaster recovery

In the event of a disaster, restoring the IT system took 8 to 10 hours, exposing the business to lost operating time and revenue.

Business-critical data

Recipes, product information, databases, accounting and management software all had to stay protected and available.

The challenge

Consolidate the IT system into one solution that meets every business computing need, and achieve reliable disaster recovery.

Chapter 02 · The Syneto approach

The Syneto solution.

VEA Cosmetics chose Syneto as its primary IT infrastructure to manage all business data: recipes and product information, databases, accounting and management software, and more. A single, easy-to-use hyperconverged solution brought virtualization and disaster recovery together on one platform.

By consolidating virtualization, storage and data protection into one infrastructure, the Syneto solution removed the complexity of managing separate systems while ensuring that all of the company's critical data could be recovered quickly when something went wrong.
