42 Pernix Data Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“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,”

"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."

“This illustrates the perfect use case to mitigate IOPs on a VM image backup platform utilizing low cost backend storage that provides us profitability and outstanding performance for our customers.”

“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.”

“All I had to do was add SSD media to my hosts, provide a new database instance on the central SQL server and provide a new Windows VM for the FVP management server,”

“We run SAP Business Warehouse and recently implemented SAP Transportation Management. At the plants, we run role-specific applications like IBM Maximo for parts and maintenance. We have many customer-facing web applications and a number of applications for manufacturing operations in addition to the Rockwell suite for programmable logic controller automation.”

“Our customers like the idea of ordering per-VM services, with the ability to change their services monthly if needed. PernixData FVP makes this completely easy to do. In the end, the move to PernixData was an easy choice for Uniserver.”

“PernixData FVP works as advertised. It delivers consistent and reliable performance at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Our databases are used for reporting, analytics and OLTP and business critical applications – such as our EMS – run on top of these databases and so response time is critical.”

“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.”
