Improving Business Agility and Efficiency With Help From Symantec and NetApp

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Challenged by exponential growth in data storage requirements - in particular with email messages increasing in volume and size - the AA (Automobile Association) decided to deploy a centralized storage infrastructure. The AA worked closely with Company-i, now part of Symantec, to optimize the value and performance of the NetApp NAS environment. By assisting in the design, delivery and management of the AA's IT infrastructure, Company-i has helped the AA achieve savings of $2 million per annum on server management charges, decrease the capital investment in storage hardware by 35 percent, and improve speed to market for new applications by up to 50 percent.
