Solving Storage Complexity With Fewer, Better Solutions
The driving force behind digital transformation was the arrival of a new head of infrastructure in mid-2022. After reviewing the IT environment, it became clear that the company had significant layers of complexity around data storage specifically. In addition, the growing size of infrastructure deployments coupled with service-level agreements (SLAs) that struggled to keep pace with changing hedge fund needs made it clear that something had to give.
Our work with the company started with a comprehensive assessment of its storage environment and options. We took an in-depth look at existing infrastructure and how it impacted operations. The organization was using 10 different storage systems, and we performed a technical evaluation of each. We sought to understand each solution’s role in the environment to determine where consolidation could be made safely.
We recommended reducing the total number of systems to reduce the overall complexity of the environment. The client liked the idea and implemented Pure Storage to help streamline storage operations.
