Case Study: Linfosys achieves 70% lower infrastructure costs with Elastifile

International Cloud Service Provider Overcomes Infrastructure Hurdles, Future-Proofs Business

Linfosys, a cloud service provider and SaaS company, faced significant challenges in scaling its infrastructure to support rapid business growth. Their existing NetApp storage arrays created unreliable silos with single points of failure, were costly to expand, and required excessive maintenance. To eliminate downtime risk and ensure cost-effective, future-proof scalability, they turned to vendor Elastifile for its software-defined storage solution.

Elastifile implemented its distributed file system, providing a unified, hyperconverged data infrastructure. The solution delivered immediate and substantial results, including a 70% reduction in combined capital and operational costs and a 6x reduction in maintenance times. For Linfosys, this meant accelerated growth and an improved customer experience, exemplified by tripling the website speed for their end customer, Shoesme.
