Mark Harwood, SAP Lifecycle SAP nightly reports reduced >7X 14
Violin Flash Array Accelerates Microsoft SQL Server Challenge Microsoft SQL Server database batch jobs took 4.5 hours to complete, with ~20ms latency Analytics and backup unable to match pace of explosive data growth Slow storage was slowing down business Solution Violin Flash Array Applications Microsoft SQL We are the leaders in the automotive flooring market because we focus on providing the right services at the right time. Violin s storage not only accelerated our services to very demanding automotive dealers, but we see it as an insurance policy for maintaining that lead in the future. Over 50% reduction in report generation times Chris Brady, CIO 15
Violin Flash Array Accelerates VMware Challenge High storage performance (100,000+ IOPS) in a VDI environment Excessive power consumption, constrained power and cooling budget Disaster recovery and resilience an issue in VDI Solution Violin Flash Array HP Blade servers 10Gbit network Applications VMware vsphere Windows 7, Office 10 Feedback from our students and Student Union has been excellent. Our architecture has allowed speedy additions of new software such as Adobe Dreamweaver. We have also realized potential software license savings where software can be licensed on a concurrent basis rather than a per seat basis. Gregor Waddell, Assistant Director Boot times reduced 18X 16
Violin Maestro Masters Microsoft SQL ROI Challenges Growth of the ediscovery database & the increase in query complexity and number of users, was impacting the performance of the ediscovery system SLAs were not being met Slower queries meant less productivity from the highly-paid legal staff and delays in new products. Solution Violin Maestro Dell R905, R815 and R810 VMware vsphere Hypervisor Symantec Ent. Vault ediscovery Applications Microsoft SQL With Maestro, we were able to increase the query capacity of our ediscovery system by six times and the best part is we didn t have to change our application, servers or storage. Christopher Chan, Director of IT $1.2 million savings in billable hours 17
Violin Maestro Delivers Oracle Savings Challenge Cuts in state funding has reduced UC Davis budget. Creating a flexible, scalable IT infrastructure to lower overall opex without negatively impacting SLAs meant virtualizing their servers I/O bottlenecks precluded scaling the virtualized environment, achieving greater server consolidation Solution Violin Maestro VMware vsphere Dell 710s Applications Oracle 11g on Sun Sparc tt5220 We successfully migrated several terabytes worth of non-write heavy virtual machines to SATA storage. Thanks to Maestro, the move was transparent to our users. Danh Duong, Infrastructure Services at UC Davis $400,000 in operational savings 18
Violin Maestro with VMware Wins Challenges Virtual servers growth impacted IOPS of shared storage arrays, creating an I/O bottleneck Builds were taking longer, impacting SLAs for the IT department Slower builds lowered dev productivity and resulted in fewer iterations of the code Solution Violin Maestro VMware vsphere Hypervisor, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) 4.0 Our developers expectations of the game build environment have risen dramatically! They can now add more features without impacting release dates. 40X reduction in latency Dan Mulkiewicz, IT Director Saving $800k over alternate solution 19
