42 Pernix Data Testimonials

"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.”

"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."

“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.”

“[With PernixData FVP] I get the IOPS I need, when I need them while buying the capacity I need, when I need it.”

“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.”

“It increases the user experience without the need to replace all the storage with a more expensive flash tier. Try PernixData FVP software and compare the before and after results – you will be convinced!”

“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.”

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

"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."

“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,”

“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,”

“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.”
