Case Study: Texas Tech University improves storage efficiency and TCO with Caringo Swarm

Texas Tech University System improves storage infrastructure TCA and TCO by adopting Caringo Swarm

Texas Tech University System, serving over 50,000 users, faced challenges managing a complex and costly 250TB storage infrastructure built on traditional arrays and a file virtualization platform. They sought a more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution to handle their diverse storage needs. They adopted Caringo Swarm object storage to address these issues.

By implementing Caringo Swarm and its FileFly component, the university simplified its storage management, greatly improved its total cost of ownership, and eliminated the need for traditional backups through advanced data protection features. The migration was smooth, and system administration efforts were significantly reduced. Caringo provided a scalable solution that prepares Texas Tech for future projects and offers the essential 24/7 support required for their production environment.
