Focus: Storage Modernization & Infrastructure Optimization

The Challenge

A statewide IT agency needed to overhaul its aging storage infrastructure, which had become complex to manage, inefficient, and difficult to scale. The existing systems lacked the flexibility to support growing workloads and digital transformation initiatives. The agency sought a modern, highly available storage platform that could simplify operations, improve performance, and reduce cost of ownership.

The ATS Solution

ATS collaborated with the agency to design and deploy a next-generation storage platform built on Pure Storage technology. From requirements through implementation, ATS provided end-to-end engineering and oversight, including:

  • Conducting in-depth analysis of existing NetApp arrays to determine capacity, performance, and latency needs.

  • Recommending and deploying Pure Storage FlashArray X70R4, with 450TB of raw capacity and sub-millisecond latency.

  • Simplifying operations with single-pane-of-glass management and true non-disruptive upgrades.

  • Supporting agency-led migration with minimal disruption and rapid deployment — completed in under a week.

  • Leveraging Pure’s advanced data reduction to achieve massive space savings — using only 15% of capacity post-migration.

The Results

ATS and the agency exceeded all goals for this high-impact infrastructure refresh:

  • ✅ 95%+ Reduction in Rack Space – From 74U down to just 3U.

  • ✅ 100% Schedule & Budget Compliance – Delivered on time and within budget.

  • ✅ Enhanced Performance – Sub-millisecond latency and simplified operations.

  • ✅ Client Satisfaction – The agency rated the project 100% across all success metrics and continues to praise the solution.

Why ATS?

ATS delivers enterprise-grade infrastructure with small-business agility. As a certified Pure Storage partner and woman-owned IT provider, ATS helped this agency:

  • Achieve massive storage efficiency with leading-edge technology.

  • Minimize downtime through expert coordination and client-led migration support.

  • Reduce operational complexity while positioning for future growth.
