Case Study: Scalepoint achieves cost-effective, scalable, and easier-to-manage storage with NexentaStor (Nexenta)

NexentaStor Delivers Cost-Effective, Scalable, and Easier-to-Manage Storage for Expanding Claims Management Company

Scalepoint Technologies, a multinational claims management services provider handling over one million claims, faced an aging Dell EMC SAN that was reaching end-of-life and struggling with performance, capacity, VMware compatibility, and cost as the business expanded. The company needed a faster, more scalable, and cost-effective storage platform that was simple to manage and could support upcoming projects.

Working with reseller Gnumerate IT, Scalepoint deployed NexentaStor with SSD caching, deduplication and VMware-friendly protocols; the solution was installed in about a week and went live within hours. The result: roughly 900,000 DKK in savings, management time cut by half, dramatic improvements in disk utilization and server performance (notably Exchange, SQL, SharePoint and Navision), a 50% reduction in backup times, high availability, virtually unlimited snapshots, and a scalable platform for future growth.
