The Results
From downtime to showtime
Centrica Energy didn’t just modernize its storage. It leveled up its entire operating model. The shift to FSx for ONTAP refined what smooth, scalable performance looks like in the high-stakes world of energy trading.
Start with speed. Today, Centrica Energy’s systems can handle around 30,000 IOPS without any heroic configurations. That’s just the out-of-the-box power of FSx for ONTAP. Transactions are snappier, and trading apps fly.
Behind the scenes, the setup is just as impressive. With multi-availability zone deployment and SnapMirror replication across AWS regions, Centrica Energy makes sure its data is continuously mirrored to Frankfurt — its designated disaster recovery site. Its disaster recovery posture is compliant and bulletproof.
Security and compliance — often the bane of any IT team — were once a hassle. Now, they flow as smoothly as a balanced grid. NetApp’s built-in, role-based access controls, Automated Ransomware Protection, FPolicy auditing, and advanced ONTAP® Snapshot™ technology enable Centrica to meet UK Financial Conduct Authority requirements without manual gymnastics.
This is the kind of reliability that fades into the background, allowing everyone else to move faster, think bigger, and focus on what matters.
