Unrevealed Broadband Communications Company Deploys Violin Memory

Violin Memory, Inc. announced that a broadband communications company and a global mobile services company have deployed its Flash Storage Platform (FSP) in their enterprise data center environments.

Both companies have previously deployed array solutions and are adding Violin’s FSP to consolidate and simplify their primary storage data center workloads to achieve improvements and take advantage of OPEX savings including power, cooling and floor space.

As a broadband communications company serving nearly seven million customers, this customer needed predictable and sustained performance with scalability for customer growth. Violin’s 7700 FSP was designed to meet the demands for high levels of reliability and availability with zero down time and zero data loss which made it a solution to help this customer deliver customer satisfaction, realize OPEX savings and remain competitive.

Delivering mobile services to more than six million customers meant this customer needed to provide exemplary customer service and support to remain competitive. Implementing 7300 FSP meant the company could more effectively manage a large production Oracle database and re-launch a customer service application resulting in high customer service satisfaction. In addition, the 7300 FSP enabled the customer to more efficiently manage their online billing applications and gain insight to manage their business.

“Large IT operations in the biggest companies around the world recognize the performance and value advantages of moving primary storage applications to flash. At the same time, they also recognize the need to integrate flash solutions that are designed specifically to meet a wide range of enterprise applications today and can scale to meet future requirements as well,” said Kevin DeNuccio, CEO, Violin Memory. “We continue to work closely with our customers to maximize the business value of flash storage in their unique global business environments.“

Violin FSP optimized solutions transform the speed of business, combining enterprise data services that encompass data protection, storage efficiency and BC with performance and density under a dual-everything Flash Fabric Architecture.
