Remove IT barriers

Be The Match doubled annual donor registration and raised transplants from 3,700 to 5,500 per year—on track to hit 10,000 by 2015.

Improve survival rates

Faster processing is helping Be The Match develop their search algorithm and reach their goal of cutting time to transplant in half.

Save lives around the world

Pursue new opportunities

Cellular therapies may soon be used to treat many diseases. Be The Match can scale 100x to accelerate those opportunities.

Raise the bar

Thomson Reuters sought to raise the bar for legal research by searching 16PB of information worldwide faster, easier, and more accurately.

Start with storage

Storage was foundational to the change, creating a platform on which new products could be developed quickly and economically.

Save $65 million

Thomson Reuters now searches 50 times as much data twice as fast and has saved $65 million by eliminating the need for a new data center.

Exceed sales forecasts by 50%

Customers are passionate about Thomas Reuters's new tool; it produced sales that exceeded first-year forecasts—and even one marriage proposal!

Break new ground

A shared IT infrastructure supports customer-focused development, changing the game for legal research and creating a foundation for continued success.

The Knowledge Effect

Thomson Reuters depends on sophisticated applications and search tools to bring value to over 16PB of data worldwide.

A foundation for growth

A NetApp® based shared IT infrastructure enabled rapid resource deployment, flexible scaling, and automated scale testing.

Grow business, not IT footprint

Thomson Reuters cut power consumption by 20% to 25% and eliminated the need to build another data center, saving $65 million.

Make data center magic

They can now search 50 times more data twice as fast, meet or exceed 99.99% uptime, and scale to handle unpredictable workloads.

Unleash innovation

Thomson Reuters’s shared IT infrastructure allows them to tackle ambitious goals and unleash game-changing products.

Expensive, slow, complex IT

With a DNA of high cost, low speed, and high complexity in its IT infrastructure, Suncorp needed to change.

Start with storage

They realized they needed a flexible, efficient storage foundation to build their IT as a service vision, and turned to NetApp for help.

Shed 30% of IT costs

Suncorp lowered storage costs 40% and boosted utilization, consolidated data centers, and lowered power, cooling, and space costs, and increased productivity for a total IT cost savings of 30%.

Move 3x faster

New projects were accelerated - like a mobile banking platform, developed over one weekend, that generated $250 million in transactions in its first month.

Change the business

Now, there is huge momentum behind IT as the key driver of Suncorp’s success.

Expensive, slow, complex IT

With seven different data centers, wires everywhere, old equipment, lots of siloed applications, managing data was difficult for Suncorp.

Start with storage

Suncorp moved 80% of its entire IT environment onto a NetApp shared storage foundation, creating a virtualized private cloud.

Increase productivity

Suncorp IT’s new speed of response enables them to deliver three times as many business capabilities at 30% lower total cost.

Deliver products faster

A few years ago, it took up to three months to set up a virtual call center. Suncorp can do that now in days.

Transform the business

Suncorp’s shared, virtualized infrastructure accelerates innovation companywide for competitive advantage.
