Case Study: Schenck (full-service CPA firm) achieves sub-millisecond application performance and cuts backups from 14 hrs to under 2.3 hrs with Kaminario K2

Schenck SC - Customer Case Study

Schenck is a full‑service CPA and business consulting firm with nearly 600 employees across eight Wisconsin locations that was experiencing severe application slowdowns and 14+ hour backup windows—latencies spiking to ~200 ms and averages of 20–30 ms—putting productivity and client service at risk ahead of peak tax season.

Schenck deployed Kaminario K2 all‑flash arrays in both data centers, completing the transition in days; the K2 delivered consistent sub‑millisecond response (0.24–0.26 ms), cut backups from 14+ hours to under 2.3 hours, reduced full VM reboot times to under 3 minutes, eliminated performance complaints, improved productivity, delivered energy/space savings, fit the budget, and enabled new revenue‑generating SaaS capabilities.
