SUPPORTS ANY APPLICATION AT ANY SCALETraditional, Modern or Cloud

28

• Supports mission critical applications and

databases like SAP, Oracle and Microsoft

within physical and virtual environments

• Scales linearly for performance and capacity

supporting growth needs

• Low overall TCO from low licensing spend

• DevOps, DBA productivity resulting from

efficient snapshots, improved resiliency and

moving shared resources

Enterprise ApplicationsPhysical and Virtual Environments

PERFORMANCE RELIABILITY AVAILABILITY SERVICEABILITY

International non-profit applied research organization

focused on Big Data environmental issues such as

Tsunami, flooding, droughts etc.

We opted for a converged solution for the scalability,

flexibility, and ease of management. The flexibility is key—

we can use it in many different ways. We don’t have to

have separate systems for each function, so management

becomes a lot simpler.

Infrastructure-as-a-ServiceAGILE. RELIABLE. AVAILABLE

A sports media group that delivers content

through all forms of interactive media

interactive media and internet company for

sports entertainment

Faced with massive data growth and performance aligned with new

client partners, customers, and datasets, they needed a scalable,

block storage solution with the ability to enhance the performance

usability of their on-site standard x86 hardware.

Compared to other vendors that were tested, ScaleIO came out on

top for performance, resiliency, and simplified storage management.

• The RDBMS alternate for NoSQL applications

like MongoDB, Cassandra and Couchbase

• Achieve consistent low application latency

• Scale Splunk to thousands of servers;

aggregate DAS IOPS and capacity for

powerful hot and warm data performance

• DevOps, DBA productivity includes efficient

snapshots, improved resiliency and moving

shared resources

Modern ApplicationsMAKING YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE FASTER. BETTER. LEANER

All of this flexibility and speed translates into better

agility and faster time to market of new services for our

business units.

• ScaleIO is a technologically and economically

compelling solution for the OpenStack

community

• Supports Mirantis, Docker, Flocker, REX-Ray,

Ubuntu and Mesosphere

• Drives scale, agility, flexibility, low risk and

cost containment for its users

OpenStack PlatformAGILE. OPEN. TRANSFORMATIVE

Verizon Labs leverages ScaleIO to drive a

software-defined storage for its product

strategy and development platforms

A new platform allows us to be agile in creating new

applications in conjunction with OpenStack and deliver

them to our consumers rapidly. While the high IOPS, the

ability to calibrate storage performance tiers were key,

what really moved the needle was ScaleIO’s flexibility

and simplicity in presenting large virtual storage volume

pools to the application layer without incurring any

downtime or for that matter performance loss.”.
