IOPS

87% Decrease

Ø  Issue: Poor VDI performance due to high utilization in iSCSI o  Citrix XenDesktop with VMware vSphere

o  CPU & RAM <50% utilization, Storage >80% utilization

Ø  PernixData Results: o  5x more IOPS, with 80% lower VDI latency (< 0.4ms)

•  Up to 1,000 IOPS now available per virtual desktop (recommended 30 IOPS per desktop)

o  Nightly SQL Server Data Cube Analysis seeing huge performance improvement •  From 6+ hours to less than 30 minutes (12x improvement)

o  $17k investment in FVP + Flash vs $100K investment in SAN (w/ fewer IOPS)

Case Study: Tidelands Bank


5x more IOPS delivered in Flash vs storage array

Ø  Issue: 10 TB of space available in HP storage cluster, but still suffering from poor SQL application performance

Ø  PernixData Results: o  94% lower average latency (30ms to 1.7ms)

o  12x more IOPS (compared to just storage array)

o  25,000,000+ IOs offloaded from storage array in 2 days!

Case Study: UK Based Consulting Agency


12x more IOPS delivered from Flash

Sample PernixData FVP Customers


PernixData FVP Re-Defines Storage Performance

Ø  The industry’s first Flash Hypervisor

Ø  Fundamentally changes storage design by separating storage performance from capacity

Ø  A disruptive technology that is non-disruptive to deploy

Ø  A strategic software platform for virtual data centers o  Microsecond performance for all virtualized applications

o  More IOPS than storage array alone

o  Easily scale-out IOPS
