Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution. 

Several processes that used to take several hours to complete are now taking minutes to complete.

There are advanced features we currently are not utilizing (AppSync, Snaps of Prod, etc.) but they are features we plan to deploy that would bring additional efficiencies.

We can have a geo cluster distributed across multiple data centers and move workloads between them.

Prior to the XtremIO, we just could not perform the data warehousing activities that enable our company to achieve business objectives necessary for being in the ultra-competitive insurance provider world.

The acquisition of XtremIO for our data warehouse was easy to configure and set up. XtremIO is so easy to manage. It hasn't taken away from our ability to support the remainder of our existing environment.

Additionally, we use an XtremIO cluster for VDI. Again, the speed with which we are able to provide VDI enables a complete company-wide VDI rollout!!

It provides reliable and predictable performance with very little administration required beyond the initial setup.

It has improved the end-user experience:

• More fluid VDI
• Faster SQL searches
• Quicker data migrations

I have leveraged XtremIO to reduce data center foot print significantly saving my company tens of thousands annually in floor space, power, and cooling.

DEV/UAT refresh periods reduced from hours or longer to under five minutes.

• Utilizing the snapshot technology, (recovery point), has been great for development.
• Inline data reduction using deduplication and/or compression has improved batch times for one of our PostgreSQL database environments.

In the VDI arena, it helped speed up VDI sessions and also helped improve the amount of VDIs versus disks.

It has offloaded high IOPS processes and cleared the main arrays for bulk work.

This product was the best fit for our 5000+ active VDI environment. It also works well with database use cases.

We have just used the product in a proof of concept test and we are yet to move it into production.

VDI is one of the top mission-critical things we offer our users. This storage runs our whole VDI environment and barely shows a blip on I/O. Previously, we had ran the VDI on non-flash storage and when Windows updates came out, we had to install them in schedule segments so as not to overload the storage. With this storage, we do them all at the same time and there is no impact to performance if 1 or 100 VMs reboot at the same time.

We use it together with VPLEX, which virtualizes the storage array with all its benefits.

This virtualization layer adds to the latency. With XtremIO behind the VPLEX, the response times are far below the response time we have on our other storage arrays, even with the SSD onboard.

Overall space usage has decreased, plus input/output operations per second (IOPS). Performance has increased exponentially.

We used the product for our internal customers (Banking). The performance really improved for the end users with reduced costs.

• The increase in available I/O dramatically changed the responsiveness of our Windows environment.
• SQL server limitations of tempDB and overrun were non-existent.

It allowed us to shrink our storage footprint in the datacenter and it increased our performance.

Reduced the Oracle database refresh times (10TB) from 48 hours to 4 hours.

We have had no benefits from this product. It produced an outage and didn't deliver on promises made by the sales and engineering teams.

Our organization has seen our customers' performance increase substantially for their database and VDI applications using this product.

I'm able to deploy a scalable amount of virtual machines from images of hundreds of gigabytes per second.

Moved and zoned our Prod Client facing Applications. Quicker response to the business and more efficiency.

Also assisted with large datasets, thus dramatically reducing our batch runs.

The fact that we can put up to five times more data on the XtremIO X-Brick prevents us from having to buy large amounts of disks.

This enclosure occupies six rack units of space, which means we aren’t paying a lot of money for rack space in our co-location facility.

• Helps VDI users for business growth
• Provides good performance
• Cost effective
• For the VDI environment, deduplication is effective. The OS deployed will have the same data again.
• Flash provides good performance

We gain, on the average, 6:1 deduplication with compression. This ratio represents a substantial amount of space savings. Our SLA has improved to 99.9%.

We have saved costs on storage and our users are getting quick response times for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
