“Our new production<br />
environment is at<br />
least 10-20x faster<br />
to accommodate for<br />
growth and the<br />
ability to process<br />
more business”<br />

Moving what had previously filled<br />
an entire room in its former data center<br />
onto two racks in its new environment,<br />
Johnson Brothers has invested in a<br />
hyper-converged infrastructure, and<br />
has embedded cutting-edge technologies,<br />
whether compute, all flash<br />
storage, unified backup or network,<br />
including a full SD-WAN. The company<br />
has developed strong relationships<br />
with Dell, Nutanix, Datatrend and<br />
others in turning its three-tier architecture<br />
into a state of the art hyperconverged<br />
infrastructure, delivering<br />
optimal compute and storage capacity,<br />
and most importantly, speed.<br />
“Our new production environment is<br />
at least 10-20x faster to accommodate<br />
for growth and the ability to process<br />
more business. For example, our<br />
backups for our ERP system used to run<br />
all night long on Sunday night and take<br />
everything offline. Now we’re down to<br />
less than two hours and that’s not even<br />
on our new IBM Power 9 Server yet,”<br />
adds Dokken.<br />
The complete modernization of its<br />
technology stack remains an important<br />
part of its strategy, leading Johnson<br />
Brothers to leverage the capabilities<br />
