SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 02/23/15 — announced today various partnerships, certifications, and customer wins that underscore the strategic role decoupled storage plays in virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI). By putting storage intelligence into high-speed server media, PernixData FVP software optimizes VDI performance with cost effective scale-out growth, making it the perfect complement to any virtualized data center environment.
“Decoupled storage is the fastest growing storage architecture for optimizing VDI,” said Jeff Aaron, vice president of marketing at PernixData. “It is the ideal way to minimize desktop latency and avoid storage overprovisioning costs, without disrupting existing server, storage and application environments. Through marquee partnerships, certifications, and great customer wins, PernixData continues to establish itself as a strategic component of any virtual desktop infrastructure.”
The Citrix Ready program makes it easy for customers to identify complementary products and solutions that can enhance Citrix environments. By joining the Citrix ready program, customers can be confident that PernixData FVP software has successfully passed a series of tests established by Citrix, and can be trusted to work effectively with XenDesktop and XenApp to ensure fast, reliable and scalable virtual desktop and application delivery.
PernixData FVP software is a validated VMware Horizon Fast Track 2.0 Reference Architecture. This is a standard, repeatable and scalable design for quick and easy deployment of virtual desktops. By having a reference architecture in place, customers can reduce implementation time and operational risk with a proven solution that delivers end-to-end interoperability.
VDI is deployed in approximately 30 percent of all PernixData FVP deployments, making it one of the most common applications to benefit from a decoupled storage architecture.
When implemented VDI, for example, the company needed a way to reduce latency while keeping costs low. After considering several flash arrays and hyperconverged solutions, Southern Waste Systems selected PernixData FVP software because it is non-disruptive to install, avoided a six-figure storage and network upgrade, and enabled virtual desktops to perform faster than physical desktops.
“PernixData fit naturally with our company–s philosophy of zero waste,” said Nick Casagrande, IT director at Southern Waste Systems. “We didn–t have to buy a new storage array or even new flash — we were able to utilize the existing RAM in our hosts to get better performance without any changes to our environment.”
