Case Study: UKG achieves 4x IOPS and guaranteed high availability with NetApp SolidFire

Ultimate Software - Customer Case Study

Ultimate Software, a leading SaaS provider of UltiPro HCM used by over 2,800 customers in 150 countries, faced persistent data‑center storage performance and stability challenges. Legacy systems and insufficient IOPS caused “noisy neighbor” conflicts, risking uptime, scalability and support for both VMware and a growing OpenStack private cloud.

Standardizing on SolidFire (SF2405 18‑node clusters) delivered a 4x IOPS improvement, disruption‑free scale‑out, rapid recoverability and fine‑grain QoS, plus inline deduplication and AES‑256 encryption. The result was faster, more predictable SaaS performance, reduced infrastructure footprint and power use, simpler operations, and restored customer uptime and satisfaction.
