Case Study: Ping An Technology achieves scalable, unified cloud data management and reduced migration costs with NetApp

Ping An Teams Up with NetApp for the New Future of Internet Finance

Ping An Technology, the IT services subsidiary of the Ping An Group, supports the firm’s insurance, banking, and asset‑management businesses. Rapid growth in Internet finance had produced massive data volumes and a siloed, heterogeneous infrastructure that could not scale—creating data‑management, migration, and cost challenges and prompting a move to a cloud‑based virtualized platform.

NetApp implemented a cloud‑ready storage backbone with EF‑Series all‑flash, FAS8000 and E‑Series systems, using CIFS/NFS, FlexArray, clustered scale‑out and QoS to virtualize and pool resources and enable third‑party integration. The deployment simplified migrations, cut failure rates and operational effort, lowered costs, and boosted application performance and delivery speed—giving Ping An Technology a scalable foundation to support its Internet finance strategy.
