NetApp Data Fabric Drives 24X7 Product Development, Speeds Data Recovery
July 18 2017 - 8:00AM
“The Shield, our vision for long-term high availability, protects
our data as it moves seamlessly between our three primary data
centers, 125 sites and 65 data centers around the world,” says Phil
Colon, senior director of global infrastructure services at ON
Semiconductor. “With NetApp, we were able to transform our vision
to a reality and leverage a Data Fabric to enable connectivity and
replication across all sites with failover for unplanned downtime.”
ON Semiconductor is driving energy efficient innovations in
almost every industry, including automotive, electronics,
computers, and healthcare. As a result of a series of strategic
acquisitions, ON Semiconductor now has 125 manufacturing sites and
68 data centers around the world. For many years, every site was
responsible for its own IT, but as the company grew it became
increasingly difficult to maintain high availability worldwide.
The company chose NetApp to help it consolidate its footprint
and simplify its SAN environment across all 125 global
manufacturing sites. Several of these sites deploy NetApp®
(NASDAQ:NTAP) All Flash FAS and hybrid arrays, which run NetApp
ONTAP® software, the industry’s leading data management solution.
To support high performance and availability for critical
enterprise applications, ON Semiconductor added NetApp All Flash
FAS arrays to its primary data center in Colorado. NetApp
professional services team members helped the company provide
onsite support to its engineers. This included focus on storage
infrastructure management and identifying ways to continue to drive
consolidation over time.
With its new approach, ON Semiconductor’s application
performance increased by an average of 50%, with speeds for
individual applications increasing as much as 64%. The
company was able to consolidate 84 racks of storage to just 24 in
its new primary data center. It saw costs fall by 30% due to a
reduction of 40% in power consumption. ON Semiconductor also
reduced recovery time objectives (RTO) by 26% (from 5 days to 3.5
days) and recovery point objectives (RPO) by 50% (from 48 to 24
hours).
Today, ON Semiconductor’s vision for Shield has progressed to
deliver a robust disaster recovery approach, with NetApp
SnapMirror® replicating data across geographies to ensure minimal
downtime and data loss in the event of a disaster. ON
Semiconductor now has the infrastructure in place to scale its
storage seamlessly without impacting ongoing operations.
