The Company
KRYS GROUP is the leading company in the French optical market. Founded in 1966 in a cooperative form, it now represents 3 brands of optics: Krys, Vision Plus and Lynx Optique, and 1 auditorium, Krys Audition.
Today, more than 4 million customers seek advice from 6,000 specialists in 1,400 stores of KRYS GROUP.The Challenge
Krys Group has more than 1300 shops, which are located all over France. In order to unify communication within a group level, marketing materials and collaterals are sent to each shop.
To facilitate this process, files must be sent through the Internet to a file server.
Krys Group was looking for a replacement of their previous system, as the equipment was obsolete.
To meet the company's needs, the solution must fulfill the following requirements, including easy deployment in each shop, seamless integration with the existing infrastructure, simple configurations, and high cost-effectiveness.The Solution
After thorough research, Krys Group noticed that Synology products are often highly recommended.
Synology experts accompanied Krys group when selecting the right NAS for their infrastructure, and the DS215+ was selected for its excellent cost/performance ratio. A DS215+ was set up in each store to provide file services with SMB/CIFS.
For maximum efficiency, the company aimed to deploy all 1,350 DS215+ within less than a year. Therefore, Synology has supported Krys Group greatly for the massive deployment.
With this deployment plan, Krys Group was able to manage their budget more efficiently. The entire architecture was stable and required hardly any maintenance so far, thus reducing additional expense for the company. Moreover, the deployment process was smooth and effortless. With the intuitive interface, employees can enjoy easy system management and higher efficiency.
