Case Study: a Fortune 20 financial services institution migrates 40PB and standardizes global data management with Data Dynamics

40 Petabytes of Data Migrated, Managed, and Consolidated with a Unified Unstructured Data Management Software

A Fortune 20 financial services institution faced significant challenges in managing 40 petabytes of unstructured data spread across a vast global footprint. Their complex environment, built through multiple acquisitions, lacked consistency and was housed on legacy infrastructure, leading to high storage costs and operational risk. To consolidate this data and achieve global standardization, they partnered with Data Dynamics and its Unified Unstructured Data Management Platform.

Data Dynamics implemented its solution to automate and de-risk the massive migration process. The platform efficiently moved 13 years of data from legacy systems to a new Data ONTAP storage environment. This project resulted in over $37 million in cost savings, optimized data location, and established a consistent global infrastructure for the client, all while ensuring no disruption to user access.
