Case Study: Contegix achieves accelerated private cloud deployment and cuts service costs in half with NetApp SolidFire

Contegix Accelerates Private Cloud Deployment While Cutting Service Costs in Half

Contegix, a St. Louis–based managed cloud and IT solutions provider, needed a multitenant storage solution that could scale easily, guarantee predictable performance, and eliminate “noisy neighbor” interference without costly overprovisioning or downtime. Its customers deploy private clouds on VMware and OpenStack and required on-demand control over performance and capacity to meet strict SLAs while keeping deployment times and costs low.

By adopting NetApp SolidFire all-flash storage with volume-level QoS and scale-out nodes, Contegix can guarantee IOPS per workload, right‑size environments, and add capacity without controller upgrades or downtime. The change cut deployment time from about a week to three days, halved customer service costs in many cases, improved server performance and reliability by up to 100%, and enabled faster provisioning and new managed-service opportunities.
