Our solution architects have solved some of the biggest IT challenges for companies across different industries and provinces, including our recent Dell win with Peavey Industries.
Supporting Peavey Industries’ expansion with storage and security
Peavey Industries is the parent company of Peavey Mart, MainStreet Hardware and ACE Canada; stores that offer customers everything they could possibly need to maintain their farms, ranches, homes and livestock. With over 150 stores across Canada, Peavey Industries, a 100 percent Canadian and employee-owned farm and ranch retail banner, engaged CDW Canada to ensure their technology infrastructure scaled and supported their ongoing growth.
To properly scale Peavey’s growing locations, increased server storage was a must. CDW replaced Peavey’s legacy storage with two Dell PowerStore 5200Ts in their Red Deer, AB and London, ON offices. “The new storage from Dell is so flexible, and their anytime upgrades ensure that we are not just set for today, but future-proofed for years ahead,” said Shaun Guthrie, SVP, Technology and Ecommerce at Peavey Industries.
