Case Study: NP Group Tecnologia Ltd achieves control of file data growth and optimizes storage utilization with NTP Software

NP Group Tecnologia Ltd, Brazil uses NTP Software to manage their file data.

NP Group Tecnologia Ltd, a São Paulo–based infrastructure and datacenter services provider and Microsoft specialist with roughly 1,000 staff, faced rapid, exponential file-data growth across many capacity-limited servers. Rather than immediately buying more storage—which would increase complexity and hidden costs—they needed a strategic, scalable file-data management solution they could use internally and recommend to customers to understand, control and predict long-term storage needs.

NP Group implemented NTP Software QFS (Quota and File Sentinel) using a three-step approach: identify data issues, enforce policies and controls, then monitor and predict growth. QFS enabled hard/soft quotas, alerts, file blocking, archiving and user self-management, letting NP Group reclaim capacity, defer new storage purchases, reduce backup/replication loads, make growth predictable with analytics, curb data sprawl, lower future storage investments and simplify help-desk operations.
