Case Study: ASE (global cloud services provider) achieves 75% storage cost reduction and sub-6-minute provisioning with Equinix

Hybrid IT infrastructure and storage solution

ASE, an Australia-based cloud services provider focused on media and entertainment workflows, expanded into Equinix IBX data centers in Los Angeles and New York to be closer to U.S. customers. It needed a globally consistent, secure hybrid IT infrastructure that delivered low-latency interconnection and an automated NetApp Private Storage (NPS) offering to speed storage access and reduce costs.

By deploying NetApp ONTAP, StorageGRID and Data Hub on Platform Equinix with Equinix Cloud Exchange and an Interconnection Oriented Architecture, ASE automated provisioning and end-to-end interconnection between Australia and the U.S. The solution enabled NPS as-a-service with user provisioning in under six minutes, cut storage platform costs by 75%, accelerated onboarding, improved QoS, scalability and resilience, and reduced RTO/RPO to minutes while allowing customers to move and manage data on demand.
