StorTrends
today announced details on how customers and partners across virtually
every industry, including education, energy, finance, state & local
government, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, have benefitted from
the increased application performance achieved using
StorTrends hybrid and all-flash storage
arrays in high-demand virtual environments. Using StorTrends storage
appliances, customers can achieve unprecedented performance,
reliability, scalability and cost savings -- especially in Virtual
Server deployments.
StorTrends is among the leading hybrid and all-flash storage
array providers to capitalize on this growth opportunity. With a long
standing history of delivering innovative storage solutions that break
price/performance barriers, StorTrends has optimized support for a
complete range of virtual environments including VMware ESXi, Microsoft
Hyper-V, Citrix Xen and Red Hat RHEV. The result is a suite of storage
arrays that will achieve dramatic enterprise performance and reliability
at an extremely affordable price point.
Among the keys to StorTrends' success is the StorTrends iDATA Tool
which automatically identifies an environment's actual storage needs
and requirements before a customer makes a purchasing decision. Running
quietly in the background of an existing IT environment, the StorTrends
iDATA Tool will, after seven days, reports on key metrics including
capacity utilization, IOPS usage, reads versus writes for volumes,
network bandwidth performance, server statistics and application
information. The result is a clear and accurate picture of the storage
requirements needed for optimum operation and to ensure organizations
select exactly what they need eliminating the need to overprovision
costly resources.
"The number one reason most storage installations fail is due
to a lack of accurate information regarding the IT environment's
performance requirements," said Justin Bagby, Director of StorTrends.
"With StorTrends iDATA we eliminate the guesswork so that customers can
build their storage infrastructure with the insight and knowledge that
fuels their success. The StorTrends iDATA tool determines how much
active data a customer has within his or her environment. This allows us
to spec the approximant amount of SSD or flash for the infrastructure
to be successful. This, along with the high value of our StorTrends
Hybrid and All-Flash Storage Arrays, continues to deliver impressive
performance results for our customers. Why guess at your data storage
configuration when you can run the free StorTrends iDATA tool and know?"
"Our guidance to end-users is clear -- we advise that they
should strongly consider hybrid or all-flash arrays (HFA or AFA) when it
comes time for a tech refresh to support business critical environments
requiring high performance data capabilities. The HFA or AFA choice
should be made after a careful review of internal business and IT
requirements, as well as budget. And then, a vendor offering advanced
enterprise capabilities together with competitive pricing, such as
StorTrends, should be selected," advised Deni Connor, Founding Analyst, SSG-NOW.
