42 Pernix Data Testimonials

“The performance of nonvirtualized applications cannot touch the performance of our virtual applications with PernixData FVP software. It isn’t even close.”

"Wow, this @#% is really plug and play... I did not have to modify my VMs, storage or network in any way."

“There’s no longer a need to have an expensive storage box sitting in the rack. That allows you to have a high performing environment without breaking the bank.”

"we are getting just that with Nimble Storage and PernixData Software. Anyone looking to get cost effective capacity in a small footprint combined with low latency performance and scale-out growth should strongly consider these two best-of-breed products."

“All we had to do was to make sure each host had a spare drive bay to install the new SSD drive. Installing FVP was really simple and allowed us to retain our existing infrastructure with minimal new investment,”

“In this job, no one carries you off on their shoulders when you do a good job but they’ll sure let you know if they’re unhappy. With PernixData, I can enjoy the silence.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Right now, our environment is well over 100 users and we couldn’t expand it until we got the storage latencies under control. We were seeing latency spikes—60, 100, sometimes 500 milliseconds—depending on what was happening on that LUN at the time.”

“For a company like ours and many others where the business is growing rapidly and IT transformation is still in the beginning stages, innovative solutions like PernixData FVP software to bridge the gap is ideal. To get milliondollar SAN performance for the virtualized SQL environment with a piece of software and low-cost server SSDs (or RAM) – that was almost too good to be true.”

"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."

“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.”

“Before we made it mandatory to start using SharePoint, the direction from senior management was that the system needed to be as fast as possible. If the system runs fast, then the transition for users to this new working method would be smoother and user ‘resistance’ would be negated"

“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,”
