Case Study: IGZ accelerates SAP performance and prepares for hybrid cloud with NetApp

IGZ Builds SAP Expertise on Data and NetApp

IGZ, a company specializing in SAP engineering for logistics and production, faced challenges with its growing data infrastructure. Their need for a tech refresh was driven by increasing project sizes, a migration to SAP HANA, and a demand for greater server performance and 24/7 reliability. To address this, they partnered with vendor NetApp to implement an all-flash storage solution.

NetApp provided an AFF A220 all-flash system, which was integrated with their existing VMware environment. The solution delivered a 13x increase in IOPS, 200% more effective capacity, and an 85% reduction in the storage footprint, while achieving near 100% uptime and user satisfaction. The implementation also set the foundation for a hybrid cloud future using NetApp's data fabric. NetApp's technology, including Snapshot and Active IQ, provided efficient backups and proactive system monitoring.
