Challenges
DAI NIPPON TORYO had been replacing the company-wide file server used across the group roughly every five years. Each refresh required about four months of work to review storage design, revisit backup configurations, and complete a large-scale data migration. In addition to that recurring effort, the team also had to manage capacity constraints and the operational burden of backup management, making the environment increasingly difficult to sustain.
Results
By adopting Everpure Enterprise File on FlashArray and Evergreen//Forever, DAI NIPPON TORYO established a storage model that no longer depends on five-year refresh cycles or large-scale data migrations. The new environment also simplified day-to-day operations, improved management efficiency with Pure1®, and strengthened ransomware protection with SafeMode™. Since going live in October 2025, the platform has continued to run stably and without disruption or planned downtime.

Introduction

Founded in 1929, DAI NIPPON TORYO is a Japanese coatings manufacturer serving markets including infrastructure, architecture, automotive, industrial plants, and housing. The company provides a broad portfolio of paints and jet inks, with particular strength in heavy-duty corrosion protection technology that helps support social infrastructure, buildings, and everyday environments. Its thick-film fluororesin coating V-Flon HB has been used on iconic structures such as the tallest broadcasting tower in Japan.

“Replacing our storage every five years was a significant burden for our systems department. The adoption of FlashArray File Services and Evergreen//Forever significantly reduces the time and effort required for upgrades, which is of great value.”

Takashi Inokuchi

Team Leader, Systems Department, Management Headquarters, DAI NIPPON TORYO CO.,LTD.

DAI NIPPON TORYO's company-wide file server had been replaced about every five years. Each refresh required roughly four months of work, including storage design reviews, backup configuration changes, and large-scale data migration, placing a significant burden on the IT department.

At the same time, day-to-day operations had become increasingly difficult. Capacity constraints meant employees were regularly asked to delete unnecessary files, while the legacy network-attached storage (NAS) environment required ongoing effort for failure response, backup operations, and recovery of accidentally deleted data.

To address these challenges, DAI NIPPON TORYO decided to modernize its company-wide file server environment. After evaluation, the company adopted Everpure Enterprise File on FlashArray with Evergreen//Forever to build a storage platform that no longer depends on five-year replacement cycles or large-scale data migrations. The new environment also simplified storage design, improved operational efficiency through Pure1, and strengthened ransomware protection with SafeMode.

Since going live in October 2025, the environment has continued to run stably without inquiries or incidents. With routine storage operations requiring less time and effort, the IT team is now better positioned to focus resources on higher-value initiatives.
