Case Study: KordaMentha achieves dramatic performance, time and cost savings with Pure Storage FlashStack

KordaMentha Builds System of the Future with Pure Storage

KordaMentha is an Australian advisory and investment firm with offices across the APJ region that relies on fast, reliable storage to support finance, analytics and practice-management applications. Faced with slow on‑premise storage that created operational bottlenecks, high maintenance and co‑location costs, and the need to support a hybrid cloud migration, the firm needed a smaller, more reliable and easier‑to‑manage solution.

KordaMentha deployed FlashStack with a Pure Storage FlashArray//m20 (with Cisco UCS, Nexus networking and VMware vSphere), which was installed and running in days rather than months. The all‑flash converged platform dramatically shrank the footprint, cut maintenance and backup time, and boosted performance—financial reports dropped from 6.5 hours to 15 minutes and VM provisioning from 10 minutes to ~10 seconds—delivering AUD$400,000 in maintenance savings over four years and freeing IT to focus on strategic work.
