42 Pernix Data Testimonials

“I need to be able to setup a new instance essentially on-demand, but I don’t have the time to get a new SAN up, and its not a good use of capital to have unused capacity just sitting around,”

“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"

“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.”

“We wouldn’t have been able to do that if PernixData wasn’t in place; our SAN wouldn’t have been able to keep up.”

“We enabled read acceleration on every single VMs in the [vSphere] cluster, and accelerated writes for some of the SQL Server instances,”

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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,”

“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,”

“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.”

“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.”

“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,”
