Case Study: Leading Property Data and Analytics Provider achieves 70% faster report processing and accelerated dev/test on AWS with NetApp

Helping Customers Make Better Property Decisions Using a Hybrid Cloud

A leading Australian provider of property valuation data and analytics serving 10,000+ customers needed to speed innovation and scale for growing big-data workloads. The company’s challenge was to establish a fast, automated way to create dev/test instances in the cloud while leveraging both private and Amazon clouds to deliver a variety of global services.

The company deployed a hybrid cloud using NetApp Private Storage for AWS alongside on‑prem NetApp FAS/EF arrays and a FlexPod infrastructure, and automated provisioning with OnCommand Workflow Automation, Snapshot, SnapMirror and FlexClone technologies. The result: automated, on‑demand dev/test environments built from production data, at least a 70% reduction in report processing time, 10 GB processed in under a minute, support for double‑digit growth, faster release cycles, and lower storage and transfer costs through deduplication and storage efficiencies.
