Optimising enterprise storage

Global enterprise across multiple data centres

Drawing on deep experience from Dell, NetApp and Pure Storage, C4C helped a global enterprise consolidate a fragmented estate, cut cost and improve performance.

45%smaller data centre footprint

38%better performance and throughput

30%+less power and cooling

The challenge

The client ran ageing arrays from several top tier vendors, each bought on a different refresh cycle, which left the estate fragmented and expensive to run.

Multiple management tools and support contracts
Rising power and cooling demands across data centres
Inefficient capacity use and storage silos
Inconsistent performance between applications and a rising cost per terabyte

The solution

Our storage experts delivered a full consolidation and modernisation plan, independent of any single vendor.

Assessment of the estate, mapping workloads, dependencies and lifecycle positions
Vendor neutral evaluation to find the right long term platform
Migration from three vendor arrays to a single, high performance platform
Architecture design and data tiering, so critical workloads got the I/O they needed

The outcome

Within months the client reduced complexity and positioned itself for future scale, automation and cloud integration.

45 percent reduction in data centre footprint
38 percent improvement in performance and throughput
Over 30 percent reduction in power and cooling
Simplified management under a single platform
