Case Study: Roma Metropolitane achieves up to 10x faster performance and 3x faster data processing with Pure Storage FlashArray

Pure Storage keeps Roma Metropolitane on the Right Track

Roma Metropolitane, the engineering firm that manages Rome’s subway construction and modernization, faced mounting pressure from compute‑intensive design tools and complex test environments. Their legacy infrastructure couldn’t sustain a full virtual environment, causing slow processing, long backup windows and higher energy and space needs—hindering punctual project delivery and productivity.

Deploying a Pure Storage FlashArray enabled rapid migration (environment up and running in half a day) and full virtualization on VMware. The all‑flash solution delivered dramatic gains—desktop performance up to 10x, data processing 3x faster, latency under 1 ms, real‑time deduplication (4:1 prod, 6:1 test), design times cut from 25 to 2 minutes, backup windows shortened and service interruptions reduced by 66%—while lowering energy and space costs and improving employee experience.
