Case Study: Fortune 100 Company accelerates application innovation and lowers dev/test costs with NetApp Cloud ONTAP for AWS

Dynamic Development and Test Environment Enhances Customer Experience with Cloud ONTAP for AWS

A Fortune 100 U.S. financial services company that runs roughly 12,000 virtual machines needed a simpler, lower-cost way to develop and test frequent application changes. High testing costs and complexity limited the number of changes the team could make, slowing innovation and negatively affecting customer functionality and satisfaction.

The company deployed NetApp Cloud ONTAP on AWS paired with clustered Data ONTAP on-premises, using SnapMirror to replicate production data and FlexClone to minimize cloud storage. This created fast, production-consistent test environments that can be spun up and torn down easily, speeding time to innovation, reducing application issues, lowering costs, and improving customer-facing functionality.
