Case Study: Yuanta Securities (Hong Kong) achieves 3x faster transactions, major cost and power savings, and improved data management with NetApp AFF A300

Improving Data Management, Customer Experience, and IT Productivity with All-Flash Storage System

Yuanta Securities (Hong Kong), a major Taiwan‑funded brokerage, faced a sharp increase in daily trading volume and transaction data after the launch of the Shanghai‑Hong Kong and Shenzhen‑Hong Kong Stock Connect programs. The surge created urgent needs for greater storage capacity, higher I/O performance, more effective data management, and faster, more reliable trading systems.

YSHK upgraded to a NetApp FlexPod solution centered on the AFF A300 all‑flash arrays, using SnapMirror, SnapVault and NetApp VSC for backup and replication, to simplify integration and support a private‑cloud strategy. The deployment cut required capacity by 50% through deduplication, delivered transactions three times faster, saved HK$20 million, reduced power use by 35% and physical footprint by two‑thirds, shortened system rollout to weeks, and significantly improved IT productivity and customer experience.
