Licensed Trade Charity Saves Valuable Time and Reduces Costs with Diskeeper and V-locity Throughput Acceleration Software

When the Licensed Trade Charity had a problem with fragmentation on their physical servers, causing IT headaches and user complaints, they looked to Condusiv Technologies.

The quick installation of Diskeeper® resolved all of their performance-robbing fragmentation issues overnight. Then when the evolution of virtual servers came about, it only made sense for the organization to continue its partnership with Condusiv and deploy V-locity.

"We decided to try V-locity, which proved to make a considerable performance difference on our virtual servers,” said CIO of Licensed Trade Charity.

In a recent 30-day data collection period, the Licensed Trade Charity discovered that the presence of V-locity on 58 of their servers is providing a significant storage I/O time savings of 12 days per server, on average. This represents the amount of time that the storage didn’t have to spend processing the excess, unnecessary I/O traffic. V-locity is able to eliminate this traffic from having to go to storage and back due to the way it increases storage I/O density, requiring fewer I/Os and allowing for faster data transfer rates.

As the organization is currently migrating over to their new Nimble storage, the CIO reflected on the money saved, thanks to V-locity eliminating 25% of that storage traffic from having to go to the storage layer. “When we were looking at our options, we didn’t have to over-provision our investment in hardware, reducing our costs even further.” He continued, “We look forward to our ongoing relationship with Condusiv and seeing how well our new Nimble storage solution performs with our entire load moved over to it.”
