Case Study: U.S. Based Financial Brokerage Firm achieves 40% storage utilization gain and 150% VM cluster density increase with Virtana

U.S. Based Financial Brokerage increases storage utilization by 40% and VM cluster density by 150%

U.S. Based Financial Brokerage Firm, a US brokerage with more than 7,000 employees, needed flawless performance for its mission‑critical electronic trading applications—especially at market open—while assimilating recent acquisitions and large VDI and datacenter changes. Facing legacy monitoring gaps and a “war room” culture, the firm turned to Virtana and the Virtana Platform to get real‑time visibility and advanced analytics across its VMware, Dell/EMC, Hitachi, Pure Storage and networking estate.

Virtana deployed the Virtana Platform (with Virtana Strategic Support) to collect agentless machine and wire data and apply AI‑based analytics for proactive troubleshooting and optimization. As a result, Virtana helped the customer increase storage utilization by 40%, raise VM cluster density by 150% (deferring hardware and licensing costs), right‑size VMs to cut software license and maintenance spend, reduce time‑to‑resolution from days to minutes, eliminate nearly all unplanned downtime, and meet SLAs.
