Case Study: FNZ achieves faster customer onboarding and up to 50% lower storage TCO with Hitachi Vantara Storage-as-a-Service

FNZ Supports Rapid Growth and Cuts Costs With Hitachi Storage-as-a-Service Solution

FNZ, a global fintech headquartered in London that manages over £200 billion in assets, faced rapid growth—its assets under administration and data more than doubled between 2016 and 2018—creating a pressing need to onboard thousands of customers quickly and scale storage seamlessly. To solve this, FNZ partnered with Hitachi Vantara and adopted a Storage as a Service (STaaS) approach.

Hitachi Vantara implemented a managed STaaS solution with all‑flash Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) systems (G200, G400, G1500), Hitachi Content Platform, and global-active device replication across data centers, backed by 24/7/365 support and SLAs for 100% availability. The deployment lets FNZ provision capacity on demand, reduce IT workload, accelerate customer onboarding, pay only for needed storage, and is estimated to cut storage total cost of ownership by up to 50% over five years.
