Case Study: Authenticom, Inc. achieves faster deployments and increased sales with NetApp FlexPod Datacenter

Authenticom Speeds Implementations and Increases Sales with Agile FlexPod Datacenter Solutions

Authenticom, an automotive data solutions provider that integrates with more than 75 dealer management systems and 20,000 dealerships, faced rapid growth—its client base doubled and data volumes were expanding by about 18 TB every 9–12 months. With storage and processing capacity nearing limits, the company needed a more powerful, scalable infrastructure to maintain strict SLAs, speed deployments, and stay competitive.

Working with NetApp/Cisco FlexPod Datacenter solutions implemented by partner Netech, Authenticom deployed a dual active‑active, 63 TB infrastructure across two sites in about three months, using NetApp storage, Cisco UCS and Nexus networking, and VMware virtualization. The result was doubled performance for core applications, five‑9s availability with SnapMirror replication and encrypted disks for security, application deployments up to 75% faster, and client onboarding roughly five times quicker—enabling new services and continued growth.
