SaaS vendor Clearwater Analytics provides investment portfolio reporting and analytics for institutional investors in 4,500 organizations. With business growing the company was looking to improve the performance of its NetApp storage.
It considered several options to address the production performance challenges. An upgrade to the existing NetApp array, which most likely would not solve the underlying issues, was as expensive as acquiring a new array. Several all-flash and hybrid storage vendors were also evaluated, but they were either too costly or not production worthy.
Kaminario K2 was selected based on its attractive price/GB of usable storage, significant improvements in performance and the collaborative, open approach of the local sales team. The Clearwater team was very excited to find out that diverse requirements in several environments were addressed with the same solution.
