Case Studies

“inVentiv health was suffering from poor performance in one of its mission critical applications. Running a virtualized Citrix XenApp 6 housed on a VMware ESX environment, the company’s SAS (Statistical Analysis System) was not performing at an acceptable level.”

White Papers

“WhipTail has turned an array of cost effective solid state MLC flash memory devices into a durable, highly available, high-performance storage solution that writes faster than it reads. Validation testing has confirmed that a single XLR8r appliance that takes only 2U of rack space and consumes less than 200 Watts of power can be used to support more than three thousand virtual desktop users with excellent response times, longevity of ten years or more, and LUN and done simplicity that makes it quick and easy to deploy.”

Testimonials

“Our VDI deployment was at a standstill. We couldn’t get our pilot group past a certain performance threshold because of the limitation of our current hardware infrastructure. Our peers were recommending we look into WhipTail’s XLR8r – that with its performance, price and ease of use, it may be the missing link we were looking for. As it turns out, they were right.”
- James Hayes, Senior Vice President and Network Operations Manager
