Case Study: Durham University achieves smarter, more cost-effective storage with Proact

Durham University cuts storage costs to a fifth with Proact

Durham University faced the challenge of replacing its aging and expensive storage infrastructure after a more cost-effective solution it had chosen failed to meet its core requirements for performance and resilience.

Proact developed and implemented a tailored Storage as a Service solution powered by Pure Storage and NetApp technologies. This provided a flexible, tiered storage model with significant cost savings—reducing storage costs to about a fifth of the previous solution—while enabling intelligent data placement and a cloud-like consumption model maintained by Proact's Service Management team.
