Marketing Company Improves Workload Speeds and Decreases Data Center Footprint with High Performing Flash Storage
WHIPPANY, N.J. – July 30, 2013 – WHIPTAIL, the flash-powered application acceleration technology enabling workloads to rapidly transact, process and analyze data, today announced it was chosen by marketing leader Datalogix to dramatically improve the performance of applications running on its statistical analysis grid. Leveraging WHIPTAIL’s ACCELA flash storage array, Datalogix has dramatically reduced application response times and storage costs.
As it worked to process massive levels of analytical data, Datalogix required a solution to improve its overall speed and efficiency, while staying compatible with its existing storage technology. It was essential for the company to sustain 2GB per second of Write/Read throughput with low latency. After reviewing a number of flash-storage solutions, Datalogix chose the WHIPTAIL ACCELA solution to run all statistical analysis system (SAS) jobs.
“Overall, we were looking for an efficient way to run a greater number of concurrent jobs and have them finish in a shorter period of time,” said Dave McCabe, lead technology infrastructure architect at Datalogix. “WHIPTAIL offered us the low latency, high speed storage we required, and our SAS application performance has radically improved. This significant technology addition allows us to operate in a manner needed to maintain the utmost service for our customers.”
After analyzing the necessities for its data analytics projects, the company realized it needed faster storage – more horsepower – to get the response time its users were seeking. To run all data analytics projects and satisfy all SAS jobs, Datalogix added three 6TB ACCELA arrays. In addition to accelerating SAS applications, ACCELA enables Datalogix to decrease data center costs, which include reducing compute nodes up to 70%, while lowering capital expenses, operational costs and energy consumption.
“Being chosen by an industry leader like Datalogix is a testament to our application acceleration go to market strategy, as Datalogix realizes the inherent value of faster, consistent and more reliable application performance,” said Erik Hardy, executive vice president of worldwide sales at WHIPTAIL. “We are finding more and more customers embrace our variety of ultra high-performance, scalable solutions, powered by our unique architecture and innovative software.”
WHIPTAIL’s all-flash silicon storage arrays accelerate application performance to new levels while reducing management time and energy consumption. ACCELA’s symmetrical I/O enables higher performing databases, virtual environments, email systems and many other application workloads. ACCELA powers businesses looking to transact, process or analyze data faster.
