Case Study: the Swedish Pensions Agency achieves faster database cloning and self-service with Proact and NetApp

Powerful storage platform and convenient self-service portal boost productivity

the Swedish Pensions Agency faced a challenge with its time-consuming process of cloning large Oracle databases for testing and troubleshooting. This task required external expertise and lengthy lead times, hindering productivity. They partnered with vendor Proact to find a more efficient solution.

Proact implemented a NetApp FAS storage platform with snapshot cloning technology, integrated with Oracle Enterprise Manager. This provided a self-service portal for developers, allowing them to create database clones in under ten minutes instead of three hours. The solution dramatically reduced storage needs and server license fees while significantly boosting the capacity and availability of the test environment for the agency's teams.
