Case Study: ZE PowerGroup achieves faster analytics and growth with IBM FlashSystem

Empowers rapid growth with fast, flexible IBM flash storage

ZE PowerGroup needed to keep its market data and analytics platform fast enough to handle rapidly growing data volumes and real-time client demands. As the company moved toward a Platform-as-a-Service model, storage bottlenecks were slowing analytics and limiting service agility. IBM helped ZE address these challenges with IBM FlashSystem and Storwize storage technology.

IBM implemented IBM FlashSystem 900, IBM FlashSystem 840, and IBM Storwize V7000 to create a low-latency, software-defined storage architecture that moved data between flash and disk automatically. The result was a major performance boost: analytics processing dropped from minutes to milliseconds, ZE reduced maintenance and energy costs, and its PaaS customer base grew by 30% in one year.
