Case Study: Reach plc achieves 6-figure cloud storage savings with Version 1 and AWS FSx for NetApp

Reach plc saves 6 figures with Version 1's AWS FSxN migration

Reach Plc, a major UK and Ireland news publisher, faced high costs and operational inefficiencies with its legacy NetApp ONTAP cloud storage system. Partnering with Version 1, the company needed to migrate to a more secure, scalable, and cost-effective solution before the end of 2024 to reduce its six-figure annual license fee and improve security.

Version 1 successfully migrated Reach Plc's storage to AWS FSx for NetApp (FSxN). This solution eliminated the NetApp license fee, resulting in a $40k monthly reduction in AWS costs and significant operational improvements. The project delivered enhanced security, a 46% reduction in inter-AZ traffic, and a seamless transition for users.
