Anaplan has chosen NetApp as its main storage vendor, according to a statement from NetApp. Anaplan is unifying the storage of its public and private cloud deployments, greatly streamlining its data operations, and fostering innovation for its AI-focused solutions by implementing NetApp unified data storage to update the storage systems in four data centers worldwide.
With its AI-powered cloud-based SaaS platform, Anaplan enables businesses of all sizes to envision, plan, and oversee superior business outcomes. Customers of Anaplan can accelerate decision-making processes and get better results, like higher revenue, better sales, and improved projections, by utilizing the AI-powered platform of Anaplan.
Anaplan uses a combination of on-premises and cloud providers to guarantee that its SaaS platform may be deployed reliably and effectively throughout the world. Anaplan had to manage several storage platforms before deciding on NetApp Unified Data Storage, which made it slower and more resource-intensive to conduct the data operations required to produce strong AI-driven insights for clients at scale.
Anaplan decided to combine its cloud and on-premises operations on intelligent data architecture with NetApp Unified Data Storage as it looked into updating its outdated storage infrastructure. This solution surpasses the performance, cost, replication, and availability requirements Anaplan requires to innovate with AI.
“At Anaplan, we are infusing AI at every level of our platform so our customers can make better plans and meet business objectives,” said Adam Thier, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Anaplan. “Previously, our on-premises and cloud data ran on different platforms, at least doubling the amount of work needed to fuel our AI data pipelines. By switching to a single, unified data storage approach for on-premises and cloud, we can ensure that all the modifications and settings we use for our data management apply across our entire environment. In short, NetApp allows us to do more with less.”
Anaplan will drive cost savings by tiering secondary data workloads to NetApp FAS storage arrays and utilizing NetApp AFF C-Series storage systems to offer the capacity required to deliver its SaaS service for clients in a dependable and efficient manner.
Anaplan is employing native cloud storage services from public cloud providers that are built on NetApp ONTAP® to further increase the efficiency of its data operations. This allows its IT team to handle data across the hybrid multicloud, which is essential to speeding up the data pipeline for artificial intelligence.
By providing snapshot copies for backups and disaster recovery, NetApp MetroCluster configurations will also guarantee high-availability and protection for Anaplan’s data operations. All of this effort streamlines Anaplan’s data operations, freeing up its technical staff to concentrate on more challenging, high-value projects like AI experimentation.
