The Challenge

As ICON developed and grew on a global scale, its previous local storage solutions couldn’t keep pace. IT teams experienced outages and there was no efficient way to share data across different locations

• Accelerate clinical trials
• Introduce new revenue model for clinical data storage

The Solution

Implement the NetApp FlexPod architecture across ICON’s U.S. and Ireland data centers to gain a purpose-build, high-capacity platform designed for specialized workloads characterized by flexibility, scalability, and lower capital and operational costs.

• FlexPod
• NetApp FAS and E-Series
• NetApp StorageGRID
• NetApp FabricPool

Benefits

• Bringing therapies to market faster and more cost effectively
• More time and funding back into continuous innovation for ICON
• Innovation is at the heart of everything that ICON, Island Networks, and NetApp do together
• Improving and saving lives through data
