Case Study: Stockholm läns landsting IT achieves improved system stability, high redundancy, and 20% storage savings with NetApp

Stockholm läns landsting IT chooses secure, stable, and scalable storage

Stockholm läns landsting IT, the IT arm of the Stockholm County Council that supports one of Europe’s largest healthcare providers, needed a future-proof storage platform to support 40,000+ users across major hospitals with non-stop operations, many concurrent sessions, strict SLAs, and strict network-segmentation requirements. The primary challenges were achieving high redundancy and automatic failover, maintaining low latency for end users, and accommodating rapid data growth without service disruption.

They deployed a NetApp FAS9000 in a hybrid Fabric MetroCluster configuration (SSD + NL‑SAS with Flash Pool), with Prolion ClusterLion tie‑breaker and NetApp ONTAP software (SnapMirror, SnapRestore, FlexClone, OnCommand, Workflow Automation), delivered with partner Atea. The result was improved system stability and automated failover, reduced write latency, flexible network connectivity, simplified management, and roughly 20% storage savings through deduplication and compression.
