"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."
“PernixData FVP works as advertised. It delivers consistent and reliable performance at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions.”
“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.”
“With our staff seeing twelve or more patients in a day, they’re trying to access information as quickly as possible. If you added up all the seconds of lag during the day, even if it only added up to 10 minutes, the buildup of frustration was terrible.”
“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,”
“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,”
“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.”
"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."
“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.”
“We actually had our software vendor reach out to us to ask what we did to make it run so fast.”
“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 conducting a small test in our lab, we were up and running in an average of 10 minutes per host, with no changes to our infrastructure.”
“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 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,”
“Luckily GCSIT, our solution provider, knew about PernixData FVP software. PernixData was the most cost effective solution and gave us the most bang for the buck.”
