Dis-Chem is a leading pharmacy group in South Africa. Started in 1978 as a family business, it now has more than 130 stores, including two partner stores in Namibia. In addition to pharmaceutical products and services, its retail pharmacies sell personal care, beauty, healthcare, nutrition and baby care products, as well as confectionary, dry grocery, household and other ancillary products.

The performance of the environment is astronomically good; we immediately experienced high availability of the environment and there were virtually no headaches in the deployment. Furthermore, the performance between the old and the new can’t even be compared.

– Lee Engelbrecht, Technical Manager Dis-Chem
