Load DynamiX Collaborates With EMC

Load DynamiX, Inc., in infrastructure performance validation, announced its inclusion in the EMC Technology Partner Program.

The integration between the Load DynamiX workload modeling and performance validation solution and VNX, VNXe and Isilon products enables users to accelerate the deployment of new storage infrastructure while ensuring application performance.

Offering a performance validation solution across file, block and object storage, Load DynamiX can stress storage infrastructure to its limits with accurate workload models that scale to any data center requirement. The solution allows storage architects to emulate their specific application workloads based on I/O profiles, including metadata operations, and test their storage systems and new storage technologies before they are deployed into production.

“We are delighted to join the EMC Technology Partner Program and are excited to work with our mutual customers to help them evolve toward a more efficient deployment process,” said Kalen Kimm, business development director, Load DynamiX. “By integrating Load DynamiX with EMC solutions, IT organizations can more efficiently acquire and size their storage infrastructure based on actual performance requirements.”

A Load DynamiX performance validation solution is an integral part of building a cost-effective storage infrastructure that can maximize the performance and availability of the latest EMC storage technologies.

EMC integration partner AdvizeX Technologies, LLC recently used Load DynamiX to ensure its proposed Isilon storage deployment would deploy smoothly without any performance degradations to its end users.

“Our client’s production environment is very complex with strict response time requirements,” said VP of technology solutions Paul Timmerman, Advizex. “By first emulating their production workload in the Load DynamiX environment, we were able to detect application bottlenecks and drive performance numbers that far exceeded expectations. Our normal testing cycle was reduced from 60 days to less than two weeks.”

The EMC Technology Partner Program enables Load DynamiX to offer its workload modeling and storage performance validation products to help mutual customers rightsize their storage infrastructure and align purchases with actual application requirements.

“EMC is pleased that Load DynamiX joined the EMC Technology Partner Program to demonstrate their commitment to helping customers evaluate infrastructure systems against their requirements for cloud, big data analytics and security,” said Carl Shanahan, EMC technology partner program manager. “With Load DynamiX, customers considering EMC’s open, extensible storage platforms are able to quickly and accurately model workload scenarios and obtain performance data to confirm their infrastructure plans. We look forward to working with Load DynamiX to ensure that our mutual customers have the highest level of support to speed their information infrastructure initiatives.“
