UPDATE -- Premier Eye Care Cures Storage Inefficiencies with NetApp SolidFire
October 26 2016 - 1:58PM
“We had three major issues to solve: backup and recovery, latency,
and reporting,” said Premier Eye Care Database Administrator Rob
Connock. “With a growth rate of 50 gigabytes a month, we were
running out of space. After implementing the NetApp SolidFire
storage system, we can completely change the way we work. Now, when
I hit the button to refresh development environments, our users get
data that is live to that second—not from the night before.”
Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Premier Eye Care manages
routine vision, medical-surgical eye care services, and
administrative services for its partner health plans. The company
provides eye care to more than four million insured members
nationwide. It has operations centers in Boca Raton, Florida, and
Honolulu, Hawaii, and a network of contracted optometrists,
ophthalmologists, subspecialists, and surgical facilities.
Premier Eye Care turned to NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) and implemented
a NetApp® SolidFire® all-flash storage system for its Microsoft SQL
database workloads to solve major challenges with backup and
recovery, latency, and reporting. In doing so, Premier Eye Care
reduced its backup-and-recovery time from up to nine hours to seven
minutes. Latency fell from 150 to 200 milliseconds to 1 to 2
milliseconds per transaction. Reports that took hours now take
minutes, and database maintenance cycles accelerated from 22 hours
to approximately 4 hours.
NetApp SolidFire all-flash storage systems reduce cost and
complexity by safely consolidating mission-critical applications
onto a single storage platform. The systems provide deep block
storage integration with all of the industry’s leading cloud,
orchestration, and virtualization software. The systems dynamically
scale storage resources to meet business demands—all with
guaranteed performance. With NetApp SolidFire’s scale-out
architecture in place, Premier Eye Care can increase storage use
incrementally, as needed and nondisruptively.
With its new solution, Premier Eye Care has:
- Reduced its backup-and-recovery time from up to nine hours to
seven minutes
- Decreased latency from 150 to 200 milliseconds to 1 to 2
milliseconds per transaction
- Reduced database maintenance cycles from 22 hours to
approximately 4 hours
