Wirestorm Delivers DevOps in the Cloud with NetApp ONTAP Cloud for Amazon Web Services (AWS)
January 26 2017 - 8:00AM
“NetApp ONTAP Cloud drastically lowered our cloud cost and server
spend. My team was able to reduce the number of deployment systems
by 10 times and drop our total deployment time from 20 hours to
under a minute,” said Jeremy Goodrum, VP of Engineering at
Wirestorm. “My team now relies on standardized automation and
focuses only on application development instead of transferring
large files, rebuilding testbeds, or trying to sync local
development environments. For a DevOps shop, ONTAP takes
productivity to a whole new level.”
Based in Redmond, Washington, Wirestorm builds and implements
business intelligence, enterprise mobility applications, cloud
computing, and technical staffing solutions for Fortune 500
companies. To accelerate and automate its DevOps process, Wirestorm
turned to NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) and deployed NetApp® ONTAP® Cloud.
In doing so, Wirestorm found a Data Fabric solution that delivered
everything that the company needed for DevOps in the cloud—without
a single physical array—enabling Wirestorm to use only laptops.
By leveraging NetApp FlexClone® technology within ONTAP,
Wirestorm significantly reduced the time that was required to
deliver solutions to clients. By creating in seconds cloned images
that look like original data, users can create multiple
environments without having to copy data to each one. As a result,
they can save on storage costs, increase efficiency, and reclaim
the hours that it takes to build physical copies of datasets. This
powerful framework has enabled Wirestorm to automate so efficiently
that it can implement an end-to-end solution all the way to Amazon
Web Services (AWS) in less than a minute.
In addition, NetApp OnCommand® Unified Manager and OnCommand
Workflow Automation simplify the viewing and automation of storage
tasks and data protection. Wirestorm’s automation can direct
workloads from the platform to different areas, whether on the
premises, on AWS, or on Microsoft Azure. The single platform
eliminates the complexity of switching between various consoles for
specific applications. Also, there is no need to build multiple
scripts and configuration models around each cloud
service.
With NetApp, Wirestorm’s DevOps team has a comprehensive suite
of supporting tools. The company can holistically deliver a
solution from a single vendor, a benefit that is directly
transferred to Wirestorm’s clients.
NetApp ONTAP Cloud software allows Wirestorm to:
- Lower the total cost of ownership of AWS.
- Automate processes on the premises and in the cloud to save
time for DevOps.
- Integrate IT system management with NetApp technologies.
- Automate deployment and implementation of NetApp products for
Wirestorm customers.
