Case study: A large US insurance companyReducing storage management effort by 50%

Business challenge:

Insurer has used IBM® Tivoli® Storage software (both storage expert and TPC) on IBM AIX for 9 years to centralize monitoring of storage performance, capacity utilization. However, with growing complexity of its storage environment and rapidly increasing data volumes, the company needed to further simplify management and reduce storage TCO

Solution:

During its beta test of TPC 4.2, Insurer reported improved productivity and time-to-value. Enhanced storage resource agents reduced scan run times. New APIs and enhanced topology maps provided an end-to-end view of the environment for better decision making. Real-time monitoring of replication models and role-based access eliminated previously time-consuming manual processes

Benefits:

50 percent reduction in time involved in managing the TPC environment and ability to reassign several FTEs to new strategic initiatives

Dramatically faster problem determination through enhanced topology views

Enhanced decision making through improved data availability, quality and accuracy

Solution components:

IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center 4.2

Customer Quote:

“Elimination of the agent manager and use of storage resource agents themselves should be reasons to upgrade. The amount of resource savings you get is going to pay for itself.”
