Mars consolidates complex data infrastructure in hybrid cloud

Mars Inc. successfully consolidated its complex, mission-critical data infrastructure across 100+ production facilities by migrating to a hybrid cloud architecture using flash storage arrays, eliminating performance bottlenecks during peak demand periods while achieving 50% cloud storage cost savings and reducing power consumption by 83%. This transformation demonstrates how unified data infrastructure coupled with hybrid cloud strategy enables operational resilience, accelerates decision-making through automation, and delivers substantial financial and sustainability benefits for large-scale manufacturing enterprises. IT leaders can leverage this model to address similar infrastructure scalability challenges, reduce operational overhead through vendor-managed subscription models, and align technology investments with both business continuity and environmental sustainability goals.
