Case Study: Siemens AG achieves 95% near-line data reduction and fast, cost-effective access with Informatica ILM Nearline

Accelerated return on investment by reducing volume of near-lined data by 95%

Siemens AG, a global leader in electrotechnology and electronics with around 400,000 employees across industrial, infrastructure, power, and healthcare sectors, needed a more cost‑effective, secure way to store, manage, and access large volumes of production data while reducing noncompliance risk.

By implementing Informatica ILM Nearline, Siemens cut near‑line data volume by 95%, accelerated ROI, and enabled seamless access to archived data from the SAP NetWeaver BW interface without restoring it to production. The solution delivered extremely fast access, lower storage and management costs, and required only a half‑day of staff training.
