CDL had been using NetApp storage technologies for many years thanks to its reliable, robust and flexible platforms. However, following several major customer wins, the company was facing challenges around the capacity of its storage environment. In short, it was experiencing performance issues which were driven by changing demands and increased workloads.
We clearly made the right decision by choosing the All Flash platform to support our underlying infrastructure. We’re only using 10 per cent of its resource out of the box which gives us enormous head room for growth while its storage efficiency features such as data compression lead to even faster read and write times. It’s just what we needed and is fundamental to successful business growth.
