Case Study: Carrenza achieves 25% cost savings and infrastructure upgrades in days with NetApp SolidFire

Carrenza Gives Customers an Unmatched Level of Scalability with Guaranteed Performance

Carrenza, a London-based IaaS and PaaS provider serving government agencies, retailers and financial firms, faced growing pressure to deliver always-on, high-performing infrastructure. Its customers needed instant, predictable scalability and low-latency storage, but Carrenza’s prior systems had slow response times, lengthy upgrade cycles and made disaster-recovery and performance guarantees expensive or impractical.

By deploying NetApp SolidFire scale-out all‑flash storage, Carrenza gained fine-grain QoS, REST API integration and nondisruptive linear scalability, letting it add or replace nodes in days instead of months. The solution delivered predictable, on‑demand performance and consolidation across workloads, improved efficiency with dedupe/compression and thin provisioning (enabling DR at 25% lower cost), and let Carrenza offer service‑level guarantees while reducing time and capital overhead.
