BETTER ROI FOR STORAGE
AccelStor runs a "zero licence" operation,
meaning that all features such as Clone,
Snapshot, Replication, Deduplication and more
are included out of the box, free of charge. As
well as these features, AccelStor offers helpdesk
support for the lifetime of the system, at no
additional cost, minimising TCO and ensuring
ease of budgetary administration.
performance capabilities of VDI's heaviest and
most resource-intensive workloads were tested.
The results showed that no matter the
workload, the user experience, or desktop
application response-time remained
unaffected, with average latencies well below
the coveted 0.6 ms across the board (see
chart below).
The AccelStor NeoSapphire AFAs come
equipped with FlexiDedupe, a deduplication
algorithm that provides up to 10:1 data
reduction with a minimal impact to
performance in VDI environments. With the use
of linked clones and FlexiDedupe, storage
capacity efficiency has been shown to be as
high as 98% (see chart).
At full desktop density on a NeoSapphire
AFA, AccelStor's FlexiRemap technology
combined with thin provisioning and
deduplication, reduce the storage cost as low
as US$30 per power-desktop across the entire
NeoSapphire line.
TESTED AND VALIDATED
The NeoSapphire product range has been
tested and validated with the industry leading
tool from Login VSI, the industry standard loadtesting
tool for performance and scalability of
VDI environments.
In a test using 500 linked-clones on VMware
vSphere and Horizon View, the storage
CONCLUSION
When storage performance really matters, and
all-flash storage is a consideration for VDI, a
system built on FlexiRemap technology will
deliver the best performance for the price, bar
none. With the ability to use enterprise SATA
SSDs that last 3X longer and provide
consistently low latency, these are systems
tuned and tested to serve the needs of VDI.
