SRA Case Studies

Immediately removed the cost of 3 developers per week for 6 months

"There is an edict to reclaim 1PB of capacity per year over the next 3 years. SRA will be instrumental to helping us identify and achieve this with ongoing proof of success."
– Storage Infrastructure Manager at a Global Mobile & Telecommunications company

Immediately saved 17 man days and provided a new ongoing process

Used on-site delivery consultants to provide storage analytic reports which were planned for 17 man days. SRA produced more detailed reports in less than 2hrs (7,000% improvement). Head of IT at Global Pharmaceutical

Identified up to $3M of reclaimable storage

Identified over 200TB of reclaimable storage with high probability and low effort to success. At a conservative $15K/TB* this could provide a saving of approximately $3M (less negligible cost of services) – Global Storage Manager at World-wide leader in news information feeds

Identified up to $9M of reclaimable storage

Identified over 600TB of reclaimable raw storage. This was not picked up by the storage management tools being used prior to the SRA run. AT $15K/TB* this is an approximate saving of $9M. Global Pharmaceutical

Enabled SLA achievement and significantly reduced SI cost

Full time EMC delivery consultant was providing allocation charge back reports for SI customers but could only achieve 10 of the 40 customers due to process overhead. SRA reduced this process down to 2days/week for all 40 customers. - EMC Storage Managed service with significant UK SI (with 40 managed clients)

Prevented potential contravention of regulatory mandate with significant associated fine

"We had no idea we were contravening compliance regulations until SRA identified this. We would have carried on in ignorance until a potential problem and this would have hit us hard with potential fines and bad press" – Infrastructure manager at global retail bank
