Pfizer Uses Analytics to Cut Storage Costs by 75%

Komprise and Pfizer: Creating a Cold Data Strategy and Accelerating Migration to AWS

​Pfizer turned to Komprise, an AWS Storage Partner, to meet those requirements. Komprise gave Pfizer a way to quickly analyze all its data and transparently tier cold files to AWS, cutting costs while building a global tagged data lake to drive business innovation. “What sets Komprise apart compared with other solutions is the end-to-end process of analyzing and moving data,” said Krishna Subramanian, COO & Cofounder, Komprise. “You can use Komprise to scan all your data, analyze costs and create business rules and then Komprise will act automatically against those rules.”

With a focus on research data on NAS, Pfizer found large amounts of data eligible for tiering. Komprise analytics helped Pfizer make decisions on which data should be tiered to AWS by understanding what data was on NAS, who was using it, how much of it was cold, and what kind of data it was.
