42 Pernix Data Testimonials

“If you need a lot of capacity and high peak performance, FVP is the right solution. You can offload the performance part to a good local SSD and get a high capacity SAN, all at a very competitive price.”

“PernixData FVP is a perfect solution for delivering consistent and reliable database and web server performance. It delivers the low latency benefits of server-side flash, without requiring us to spend a fortune on unnecessary hardware.”

“To be most accurate, it is important to generate the report at the very last moment before a shift starts. On a physical database, a standard report took 12 minutes to run. When we virtualized our Oracle, we saw this query time increase to almost 30 minutes, primarily due to storage bottlenecks. This was a key trigger for us to look at new solutions for enhancing the performance of our virtual infrastructure.”

“After we added some more VMs, everything came to a halt and became very sluggish. We needed to step up and fix the issues with a minimal investment.”

“As we started to look at the configuration of our cloud platform, we wanted to ensure that we could pre-empt any latency issues related to storage. In my experience, dealing with storage is a time consuming exercise when having to remediate customer application performance.”

“The application performance improvements are like night and day in comparison to before PernixData FVP software was installed, with significantly lower latency and higher IOPS on every VM,”

“We no longer see issues with performance. If we witness any demanding virtual machines, we can just add them ‘on the fly’ to the FVP cluster.”

"Just as the hypervisor is for a virtual machine, a VM being accelerated using PernixData FVP has no idea it is being accelerated. No guest agents. No VM configuration changes. It just works."

"On one hand, I would have had to spend about $100k on my SAN and cross my fingers that it would be enough to solve our latency issues. On the other hand, I could spend about $17k on FVP and get more than enough IOPS to be sure the latency problem was solved. It was a pretty easy discussion with senior management."

“We actually had our software vendor reach out to us to ask what we did to make it run so fast.”

“This meeting resulted in me running FVP in a test environment. FVP is extremely easy to install and we had no downtime during the process that took no longer than 6 hours to install, configure and start to use. The trial demonstrated good performance even on slow SSDs,”

“[Implementing FVP sofware version 2.5] was very easy. It was as simple as the documentation made it.”

“We were experiencing latency issues that were resulting in our services arm having to address a customer’s concerns. Once PernixData FVP was implemented, they were ecstatic with the brilliant results, and so were the customers.”

“Specifically, we achieved 300 million IOPs from datastores saved, 6.6 TB of bandwidth saved, 400,000 writes accelerated, and a flash hit rate of a whopping 99% for the workloads moved to the PernixData enabled cluster. Due to these improvements and acceleration readings, we can confidently provide our customers with improved user experience in a simpler and cheaper way than before, enabling us to gain an edge on the competition in the agile and ever changing hosting business.”

“We observed a steady increase in general compute workloads and an increased appetite from clients to move business critical applications onto cloud, which increased the I/O load on our storage,”
