Customer: Law Office SME– eDiscovery and Virtualization

Competing Solution Why ioControl?

Our main reason for ioControl was their performance guarantee along with cost. We ended up getting a solution that provides the lowest $/IOP and $/GB on the market to date. Another huge benefit is the 3U of rackspace per 33TB of usable storage.

Customer: Small College– VDI and Business Critical Apps

Before After Results

▸ Accelerate boot storms• 81% faster client boot

operation

▸ Efficient performance in a small footprint• 5x more IOPS than

existing infrastructure

• 80% less rack space

▸ QoS enables other apps on same SAN• Consolidation means

lower costs = Bonus

▸ Projected storage costs• $28 storage cost per

desktop

“ioControl’s raw performance along with QoS capabilities gave us the confidence that ioControl could not only handle the VDI workload spikes, but deliver consistent performance to other application workloads simultaneously.”
