Read / write bottlenecks here
Cause performance problems here (ms latency)
>70% of VMware support calls are related to storage performance
The Solution: Decouple Storage Performance from Capacity with PernixData FVP™
Ø Aggregates flash across servers
Ø 100% software
Ø Any server, flash, or storage

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)

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!
