FBS Data Systems Selects Avere XT Series Edge Filers

Avere Systems, Inc. announced that FBS Data Systems has deployed its FXT Series Edge Filers to improve the experience of the company’s online real estate listing service.

With Avere, FBS provides delivery of property photos, which real estate companies and buyers leverage for real estate listings from over 120 multiple listing service (MLS) organizations around the world.

“In the highly competitive and data-heavy world of online real estate, our customers rely on us to consistently provide speedy access to listings with the best user experience possible,” said Jaison Freed, VP of IT, FBS. “With the growing size and quality of photos, combined with seasonal activity fluctuations, we wanted to guarantee that we continued to exceed customer expectations. With Avere as a buffer, fluctuations in workload are managed so we exceed the performance and capacity of back end storage during peak times with no decrease in response time. With the Avere solution, we fulfill four million photo requests each day – that’s 45 requests per second!“

“Companies that serve large amounts of online data to customers, like FBS Data Systems, rely on Avere to drive the performance needed to increase customer satisfaction and ultimately loyalty,” said Rebecca Thompson, VP marketing, Avere. “Our Edge/Core storage architecture continues to gain market penetration due to its ability to meld high performance with simplified management at a cost no one can match. This is giving customers like FBS a tremendous advantage as they decouple capacity from performance to support their business.“
