Case Study: SYNLAB improves response times and meets growing demand with NetApp all‑flash storage

Synlab and NetApp together in the face of growing medical demand

SYNLAB, Europe’s leading clinical laboratory services provider operating in 40 countries with more than 22,000 employees and roughly 500 million test results a year, faced rapidly growing demand and the need for faster response times, higher availability, and scalable storage to support critical data processing and regulatory requirements.

To address this, SYNLAB and partner IEAISA deployed NetApp all‑flash solutions across data centers in Madrid, Barcelona, and Portugal. The upgrade delivered higher performance and scalability, improved data protection and business continuity (supporting GDPR compliance), reduced response times during peak demand, and positioned the company to expand NetApp into its centralized infrastructure and SAP deployments.
