The Company A managed hosting service provider Over 8,000 servers at 16 Data Centres globally A broad range of 30,000 customers The Challenge Over 1m gamers playing daily Enterprise customers high-availability and high-capacity requirements Company is under constant pressure to boost performance, capacity and reliability Gaming customers want performance to minimise time lag, important for twitch-gamers Corporate customers are after cost savings through increasing virtual servers.
The Results i3d on KingstonConsult engineers They ve been advising us on how to gain the maximum performance from specific server configurations. That s an added value to us that sets them apart. The Kingston Solutions have definitely made it easier for us to meet our SLA s The MTBF of their modules is incredible. Since we started using them, we ve reduced DRAM failure by 50% Doubled number of instances that gaming servers can run Significantly increased number of virtual systems on corporate servers
It is both their products and services that set Kingston apart from other memory vendors. They have become a trusted partner by advising us on how to get every bit of performance out of our servers. We just don t see that level of engagement with other companies. Stijn Koster CEO i3d.net
The Company Designs and assembles low-energy profile, high-performance, highly scalable ARMprocessor Leveraging emerging and state-of-the-art technologies to improve the server performance-to-power ration The Challenge Data Center s spend a lot of money on electricity to operate and cool their servers. Whilst in the future the U.K. is facing potential blackouts from projected energy shortages. To design a low-power server using off the shelf components.
The result Avantek engineers and KingstonConsult worked on optimizing server processor to power ratio After implementing the Kingston DRAM and SSD solutions, managers realised a number of benefits. These include: - The Avantek servers consume up to 90% less power to run while drawing 50% less power to cool. - Avantek customers report that Avantek servers deliver a significantly better processing to power ration in their production environments.
The KingstonConsult team s technical knowledge has been a valuable aid in our development of an energyconserving ARM server that improves the process-topower ratio by a country mile. Tony Lees Managing Director Avantek Computer Limited
The Challenge VMware's Integration Engineering (IE) Team provides transparent feedback on the implementation and operation of VMware products and technologies. In order to support the application workloads associated with these directives, the IE Team built out a Service-Provider-scale cloud across 3 data-center locations. Servers had an initial 48GB memory footprint, needed extra capacity for projected workload.
The Results Able to take on more workloads with confidence The Kingston memory upgrade doubled the capacity of the VMware workloads running on top of them. With memory headroom to spare, the IE Team can accept more application workloads from internal customers. Competitive pricing enables operational efficiencies - 288 servers were upgraded to 96 GB of memory to bring the entire installed base of 416 serves to a uniform memory footprint.
"The competitive pricing and reliability of Kingston's server memory allowed us to scale the capacity of our cloud environment while reducing the number of physical servers. As a result, we are better able to deliver product integration and operational workflow feedback to VMware R&D. Adam Zimman Senior Director of Integration Engineering, VMware R&D
