The company has reduced operational continuity incidents by approximately 65% thanks to a hyperconverged software-defined storage architecture, deployed together with Abenet Soluciones.
Barcelona, 5 November 2026.— Hinojosa Packaging Group, a benchmark in the design and manufacture of sustainable packaging solutions, has modernised the storage infrastructure of its 24 production sites in Spain, Portugal, France and Italy with DataCore SANsymphony, with the aim of ensuring high availability for its industrial processes and simplifying the management of its IT systems.
With nearly 80 years of history, Hinojosa serves sectors such as industry, food and beverages, consumer goods and e-commerce, with a workforce of more than 3,000 employees. The operational continuity of its plants is a strategic objective for the company, which previously operated with a traditional infrastructure based on independent storage arrays. Although it delivered sufficient performance, this infrastructure could present limitations in maintenance costs, flexibility to grow, vendor dependence and availability between data centres.
A hyperconverged architecture for business continuity
To address these challenges, Hinojosa opted for a hyperconverged architecture based on DataCore SANsymphony, deployed by Abenet Soluciones. Each production site now has a high-availability cluster with synchronous mirroring between nodes, full storage virtualisation, centralised management and hardware vendor independence, allowing applications to keep running even if one of the nodes becomes unavailable.
This architecture has become Hinojosa’s standard model for all new deployments and technology refreshes across the group, with a fully standardised deployment procedure developed together with Abenet Soluciones.
“Today we have a much more robust infrastructure, ready to absorb incidents without affecting users or production. That is the real difference.”
Joan Mompó Giménez, IT Manager – Hinojosa Packaging Group
Results: 65% fewer incidents and up to 25% savings
Protection is completed with synchronous mirroring between nodes, daily backups with Veeam, a dual local repository, an immutable cloud repository and Disaster Recovery plans. This has enabled Hinojosa to significantly improve its recovery time (RTO) and maximum tolerable data loss (RPO), even in the face of real incidents such as power failures, disk faults or fibre cuts between data centres.
The main results of the project include:
- Higher availability: a reduction of approximately 65% in incidents related to operational continuity.
- Simpler administration, with unified procedures and a homogeneous architecture across all plants.
- Easy scalability to add new production sites with the same technology model.
- Cost optimisation, with initial savings of around 15% that have reached 25% as the model has been extended to more sites.
- Lower carbon footprint, thanks to fewer physical devices and reduced energy consumption.
The company is already preparing the refresh of further production sites that do not yet run on DataCore SANsymphony, consolidating this architecture as the group’s technology standard for the years ahead.
“This has allowed us to consolidate our infrastructure governance model, achieve a level of availability that was previously hard to reach and simplify the management of our systems. Now, with the uncertainty surrounding the evolution of hypervisors, DataCore SANsymphony once again gives us the peace of mind of having a flexible platform, ready to integrate with the main alternatives on the market.”
