Case Study: Vector Data accelerates OEM solution delivery with NetApp Capital Solutions

Vector Data Accelerates OEM Solution Delivery with Help from NetApp Capital Solutions

Vector Data, a Sunnyvale-based IT services firm that designs and supports high-performance content delivery networks for video, mobile TV, IPTV and cloud applications, needed a cost-effective OEM purchasing model and faster product development. The company faced pressure to accelerate time to market, build a robust testing and certification lab, and deliver ruggedized storage solutions for customers in harsh environments like military, telecom and oil & gas.

By financing NetApp FAS2040 and FAS2050 systems through NetApp Capital Solutions and customizing/ruggedizing the hardware, Vector Data reduced upfront capital outlay and financial risk while timing payments to match cash flow. The freed capital funded a multimillion-dollar test and certification lab, enabled parallel engineering and testing, accelerated time to market, met stringent industry requirements (such as NEBS), extended product lifecycles, and improved customer satisfaction.
