Storpool 20.qxd 01-Dec-23 10:59 AM Page 2 CASE STUDY: HOSTED.NL STUDY: "…IT JUST WORKS" DUTCH IT FIRM HOSTED.NL IS 'BREAKING THE BOUNDARIES OF TRADITIONAL HOSTING INFRASTRUCTURE' WITH HIGH-PERFORMANCE MANAGED STORAGE CLUSTERS RUNNING ON STORPOOL AND VMWARE af Hosted.nl is a leading Dutch cloud and managed IT services provider. With over 14 years on the market, 1000+ customers, and 2500+ servers, the company is recognised for its high-quality service and innovative technology solutions. Hosted.nl offers laaS solutions, public and private cloud, containers as a service, network solutions, and connectivity. MIXED WORKLOADS The team at Hosted.nl was looking for an alternative to replace their old and poorlyperforming iSCSI storage. They had used storage from different vendors in the past, including DELL Equallogic, EMC VNXe, Tintri. Hosted.nl was searching for a solution to support mixed workloads - from shared web hosting, hosted desktops, and e-mail hosting (Exchange) to private and hybrid clouds. Currently, the company is running workloads on VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Xen, etc. Other requirements for the new storage solution were high performance, scalability, reliability, and good support. StorPool has fully replaced the legacy DELL and EMC storage which Hosted.nl was using previously - and it works perfectly with VMware. Hosted.nl currently runs VMware ESXi 6.0.0 and will be migrating towards 6.7 very soon. "We do not need to worry about maintaining the storage platform itself as it just works. With StorPool we experience extremely low response times, very high skill, and knowledge from both the tech and the business teams. Also, they are very kind people in real life and that is one unique selling point," shared Erik Jan Visscher, Director and Founding Partner of Hosted.nl. A considerable advantage is that the team is able to focus on the things they need to do in their daily operation. There is no more need to worry about maintaining the storage platform itself as 'it just works'. In the past, when Hosted.nl needed more storage and/or performance, they it meant way more work to scale out their operation, balance workloads, etc. Now, they just add drives or nodes, and expand their storage capacity. PAY-AS-YOU-GROW More importantly, they get more performance. Hosted.nl confirmed that StorPool's support has never let them down and are available to help 24/7. Another advantage which needs to be considered is the pay-as-you-grow model, which Hosted.nl finds very interesting and attractive. Key benefits of the StorPool solution include: High performance Improved scalability and flexibility Saved time on staff Downtime reduction Exceptional team of experts "We are looking to replace Tintri in the future as well. StorPool outperforms all the other storage platforms we have used, not only performance-wise but also in scalability, support and redundancy," concluded Erik Jan Visscher.
