Case Study: LeaseWeb achieves high-performance, low-latency, scalable cloud with NetApp

LeaseWeb: Taking Cloud to the Next Level

LeaseWeb, a leading global hosting provider offering cloud, bare‑metal, CDN and related services, needed an enterprise‑class infrastructure to support mission‑critical, high‑performance customer workloads. The company’s challenge was to deliver low latency, constant throughput, zero downtime and minimal administrative overhead so datacenter staff could stop managing infrastructure and focus on innovation and customer excellence.

LeaseWeb implemented NetApp All Flash FAS8080 systems with Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3.1, gaining sub‑millisecond latency, up to 4 million IOPS and 100 GB/s sustained throughput. Built‑in compression and deduplication reduced capacity needs 5–10×, energy use dropped, maintenance became nondisruptive, and storage bottlenecks were eliminated—resulting in more responsive, reliable services, scalable capacity on demand, freed resources for innovation, and a strong ROI.
