Sipafer S.p.A., a leader in Italian wholesale distribution, relies heavily on ERP and logistics systems to maintain fast, uninterrupted service across its commercial network. To support rapid growth and protect against downtime or cyber threats, Sipafer partnered with Share Distribuzione to deploy a hyperconverged Metro Cluster solution. Powered by Open-E JovianDSS and enterprise PCIe Gen5 NVMe data storage, this high-availability ecosystem ensures real-time synchronous data replication, automatic failover, and zero-impact operational resilience.
- Real-time synchronous data replication across redundant cluster nodes.
- Ultra-low latency NVMe storage powered by PCIe Gen5 technology.
- High availability with automated failover and zero data corruption.
- Protection against hardware failures and cyber threats via ZFS snapshots.

Challenges
Sipafer’s main focus was to optimize their system speed and data storage efficiency, significantly cutting response times and speeding up high-frequency backend data streams.
Solution
Share implemented an OpenStor hyperconverged Metro Cluster powered by Open-E JovianDSS on GIGABYTE 1U servers with dual AMD EPYC processors, Kioxia PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs, and 25 GbE synchronization paths.
Achieved Result
The platform delivered flat I/O latencies, instant node failover with zero downtime, continuous logistics operations, and reliable disaster recovery backed by point-in-time ZFS snapshots.
