“HP Moonshot technology provides us

with the extreme density we need in

a dramatically reduced form factor.”

– Chris King, Vice President of Operations, SpringCM

SpringCM is a cloud-based enterprise document-centric

workow platform that allows customers to manage contracts,

documents, and all types of content across devices and

locations. Allowing Salesforce.com users to streamline tasks,

automate processes around documents, and work

collaboratively, SpringCM is a solution that helps speed the

sales cycle while keeping sensitive content secure. SpringCM

recently deployed HP Moonshot technology to speed

innovation and simplify scaling in its DataStax Enterprise

distributed database platform, built on Apache Cassandra.

Objective

Increase compute and storage performance

for DataStax Enterprise distributed database

environment while accelerating time to market

Approach

Drive down TCO and deliver a smaller, denser

compute architecture with HP Moonshot technology

and DataStax Enterprise

IT matters

• Boosts node density (10:1 in a 4.3 U space) while

reclaiming data center real estate

• Reclaims valuable IT resources with faster

deployments (one hour vs. days)

• Provides a new model for distributed compute

architectures across the business

Business matters

• Delivers up to 70% more energy savings than

traditional rack server architecture

• Speeds time to market by simplifying platform

requirements

• Enables exponential growth while eliminating

disruptive upgrades and installations

Case study | SpringCM Deep into data Managing customer information has never been a simple process. Even in the days when the Rolodex ruled the desk, it was an incomplete solution. Index cards filled with microscopic scribbles that attempted to bring the customer’s contact information to life were only as good as the intentions of their keepers and the efficiency of their filing system. Move 40 years into the future, and the massive database has long replaced the circular index card organizer.

Case study | SpringCM Rethinking retrieval The team wanted to be able to retrieve those large data sets faster than a standard server farm would allow. “We could have attempted to build a new system on big powerful servers with a bunch of memory,” recalls Papatsaras. “But we saw that a more distributed system would be a better way to go.” King agrees. “We needed something fast, cost-effective, and scalable, and my gut was telling me HP Moonshot might be the answer.
