Case Studies
Beam Suntory
From grain to glass, Beam Suntory must ensure that manufacturing systems run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to distill the premium spirits the company is known for. To minimize the risk of unplanned downtime, Beam Suntory replaced the aging IT infrastructure supporting its core Wonderware manufacturing execution system with Lenovo Converged HX3310 hyperconverged appliances, integrated with Nutanix software. Now, the company has complete confidence that its IT systems will run uninterrupted, keeping the drinks coming.
