17. Case study: A large US insurance company
Reducing 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: Customer Quote:
 50 percent reduction in time involved in managing “Elimination of the agent manager and use of
the TPC environment and ability to reassign storage resource agents themselves should be
several FTEs to new strategic initiatives reasons to upgrade. The amount of resource
savings you get is going to pay for itself.”
 Dramatically faster problem determination through
enhanced topology views
 Enhanced decision making through improved data Solution components:
availability, quality and accuracy
