Citrus Consulting and NetApp Tackle Enterprise Data Storage Challenges
Solution: NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and Global File Cache
In order to consolidate this New Zealand based construction firm’s existing data into a cloud environment, Talon (now NetApp) worked with us to implement the solution.
Having already been familiar with Talon FAST™ (now NetApp’s Global File Cache) and NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, we were instrumental in making this transition into the cloud run smoothly. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP in conjunction with Microsoft Azure would address all remote data concerns and allow this New Zealand firm to integrate smoothly into the larger global partner network. This addressed the primary problem for the New Zealand based firm, namely the centralization of larger data sets spread across their growing offices and consolidating outdated hardware.
Since they needed to relocate their headquarters to a new office without bringing any new hardware, they needed a storage solution to pair with their cloud platform that could scale alongside their growing business, provide seamless collaboration between offices, and assist IT managers in maintaining a centralized data set. FAST™ (now Global File Cache) was the perfect fit.
Talon FAST™ (NetApp’s Global File Cache) software made it easy for the New Zealand based construction firm to consolidate their data into the cloud. FAST™ (Global File Cache), unlike other storage solutions, is software-based, so it doesn’t require enterprises to purchase additional hardware. It uses intelligent file caching technology to enhance and simplify data distribution to branch offices, so it solved New Zealand based firm’s issues with file versions and keeping active data at branch offices.
This allowed the New Zealand based construction firm to create a centralized data set in the cloud using NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and consolidate storage during their transition into a new head office.
