Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Gains Visibility Into NetApp Storage Systems

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) is a leading cancer treatment center that combines expertise from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine and Seattle Children’s. Their IT infrastructure team lacked a unified view across datacenter and enterprise systems, making it difficult to understand historical NetApp filer behavior, pinpoint the source of storage-performance degradations, and troubleshoot issues without relying on custom scripts and multiple monitoring tools.

By deploying Splunk Enterprise and the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP, SCCA gained a single pane-of-glass for NetApp performance, logs and configuration data alongside security and server events. The solution delivered instant visibility into storage health, proactive vscan antivirus reporting, faster root-cause isolation, significantly reduced MTTR and troubleshooting time, better insight into performance metrics like latency, and lower storage monitoring costs—while remaining usable by novice admins.
