• 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.

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.”.
