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.”

“WhipTail provides an integrated solid state appliance approach, while alternative solutions required another vendor to provide software or hardware. The XLR8r has given us the flexibility to add an additional storage tier without the performance and capital costs we would have incurred with other options.”
-Rich Bailey, Executive Director, Infrastructure Operations

“It’s about what we are paying per IO, not per GIG anymore—particularly for our more intensive applications…After deploying the WhipTail XLR8r, we have found our virtual environment is running four times faster, and the help desk calls have stopped completely. Those reports that took hours now only take minutes when running on the XLR8r. The improved performance offers us a distinct competitive advantage.”

“In segregating Exchange 2010 to WhipTail’s XLR8r, we’ve seen a huge increase in the speed and response time and were able to mitigate our overall capacity needs to a major degree. The XLR8r has become the key element of our virtualization strategy.”

“Our preferred solution provider facilitated the evaluation of WhipTail’s Virtual Desktop XLR8r appliance. Things that would typically be immediately noticeable to our VDI users, such as cloning operations occurring on the same LUN they were working on, boot storms, AV rollouts and so on disappeared immediately. We were able to watch an HD video on a VDI desktop whilst provisioning a desktop pool on the same LUN and rebooting about 50 others at the same time. Our viewing was uninterrupted, and throughout disk latency was pretty much zero. If we had tried the same on our existing array we would have started to receive calls about slow performance immediately. Its performance on IOPS (especially WRITE IOPS) was dramatic. We were impressed and placed an order.”

“Whiptail’s proprietary software spreads the writes around the complement of solid-state drives within its appliance. It is actually built to be accentuating SSDs and not just any array that has SSDs jammed into it. Its wear endurance software is a huge advantage and one of the single biggest reasons we went with the XLR8r—it’s purpose-built. Plain and simple.”
