Case Study: DARZ GmbH achieves DevOps agility, 4× reduced CPU and memory, and predictable performance with NetApp

DARZ Docker & Container -as-a-Service Drives Digital Transformation Through DevOps

DARZ, a full IT service provider for small and midsize businesses, launched a Docker & Container-as-a-Service to help customers accelerate digital transformation and adopt DevOps. The company needed to deliver agile, scalable infrastructure with predictable performance and lower operational overhead compared with VM-based environments.

DARZ built the service on NetApp SolidFire all‑flash storage and the NetApp Docker Volume Plugin to simplify container storage, guarantee per‑volume QoS, and enable nondisruptive scale‑out. The result: thousands of containers deployed in four months, customers (e.g., WSP‑Consulting) cutting CPU and memory use by 4×, 100% predictable performance, faster development cycles, and secure multicloud options.
