Contegix Accelerates Private Cloud Deployment and Cuts Service Costs in Half with NetApp SolidFire
February 21 2017 - 7:00AM
“NetApp SolidFire supports our mission to always display respect
for people, time, and data,” said Craig McElroy, CTO and cofounder
of Contegix. “Guaranteeing performance and eliminating noisy
neighbors respect our customers as people. Eliminating delays in
infrastructure respects their time. The ability to control how many
gigs or terabytes are procured for a client is respect for data.
NetApp SolidFire enabled us to get to a unified storage platform
where we can focus on delivering high-value customer business
outcomes. Every interaction at that level is a deposit in the trust
bank.”
Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Contegix is a leading
provider of cloud, managed application, and IT solutions that help
midsize businesses simplify infrastructure management, improve
productivity, and optimize IT resources. Many of its customers
leverage the company’s data centers to deploy private cloud
environments on VMware and OpenStack platforms. Contegix required a
solution that would eliminate noisy neighbors within its
multitenant infrastructure, would scale easily to accelerate
business performance, and would deliver on-demand control over both
performance and capacity.
Contegix turned to NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) and
deployed the NetApp® SolidFire® all-flash storage system to meet
customers’ demands for scalability and guaranteed performance to
accelerate their private cloud deployments. Now, with NetApp
SolidFire volume-level quality-of-service controls, Contegix can
guarantee performance for all customer applications and adjust
resources dynamically. It can scale independent resource pools of
performance and capacity in anticipation of future needs, without
up-front capital expenditures and without upgrade, data migration,
and downtime costs. The solution reduces provisioning time and
burden, while lowering the entry price for shared storage for
VMware and OpenStack-based cloud environments.
For example, Contegix customer Rx Outreach, a
nonprofit mail-order pharmacy, uses its infrastructure to meet the
performance needs of its business-critical applications. By using
NetApp SolidFire, Contegix guarantees min, max and burst I/O
operations per second (IOPS) for every application on the system.
Contegix was also able to right-size the environment so that
the pharmacy didn’t have to purchase unnecessary capacity up
front.
After implementing NetApp SolidFire, Contegix
has:
- Achieved 100% improvement in server performance and
reliability
- Reduced deployment times and cost by 50% or more
- Cut in half monthly service fees for its customers
