Case Study: National Auto Dealer Company achieves submillisecond database performance and rapid inventory search with NetApp All Flash FAS

National Auto Dealer Company - Customer Case Study

An automotive software company that provides web-based inventory management and pricing tools to dealerships needed to make its platform truly real-time as it scaled. As more dealerships came online, the shared storage for its Oracle production database became a bottleneck, slowing searches and threatening the responsiveness dealers rely on to move inventory and close sales.

The company migrated its performance-sensitive Oracle database to a NetApp FAS8080 all‑flash array running clustered Data ONTAP, gaining sub‑millisecond latency, I/O headroom, and storage QoS control. The move accelerated dynamic search results, removed the need for extensive database tuning, simplified operations, and enabled growth—supporting more users and features while improving inventory turns, gross margins, and overall dealer profitability.
