Case Study: Zumasys achieves scalable, high-performance private cloud hosting and 500% faster reporting with NetApp

Zumasys Meets High Performance Demands with Private Cloud Hosting Backed by NetApp

Zumasys, an Irvine-based IT-as-a-service provider, helps SMBs modernize legacy applications and offers both on‑premises and private cloud hosting. Facing rapid cloud growth (now ~40% of revenue and 42% annual expansion) and customer demands for higher performance, 24/7 availability and regulatory compliance—exemplified by Equiant’s delayed D3 report processing—Zumasys needed a scalable, high-performance platform to support its hosting business.

Zumasys implemented a NetApp‑based FlexPod architecture (FAS8060 clustered Data ONTAP, Flash Pool/Flash Cache) with Cisco UCS, VMware virtualization, and SnapMirror DR, plus a dedicated FAS2220/Flash Pool environment for Equiant. The solution delivered ~500% faster report processing, roughly 50% savings in capex/opex for hosted customers, a 98% contract renewal rate, and the scalable, differentiated hosting margins and customer satisfaction Zumasys sought.
