Accelerate Application Workloads
Workload performance drives the speed of business. It is essential that these workloads consistently write and read data quickly. Databases, batches, email systems, virtual desktops and many other applications require fast data access to work effectively. Storage directly impacts the efficacy of business workloads, which in turn defines business performance.
WHIPTAIL’s all-Flash memory storage arrays run application workloads 1000s of times faster than mechanical hard disk storage. Faster workloads convert data to information sooner, yielding vastly improved business agility. Companies leverage WHIPTAIL to realize their business performance goals while they reduce energy consumption and conserve data center floor space.
Read on to learn more about the benefits WHIPTAIL’s flash arrays offer specific workloads.
Analytics & Intelligence Application Workloads

Database Load Application Workloads
Database performance issues command an unnecessarily high percentage of infrastructure engineering and application support staff cycles. The repetitive manpower costs spent on troubleshooting, diagnosis, corrective tuning measures and post-mortem efforts add up quickly and continually. Add to that the real and perceived costs of slow response and report generation times, user dissatisfaction,…

Video Transcoding Application Workloads
The media and entertainment industries have an insatiable appetite for larger and larger storage capacity, especially with the latest trend to transcode high-definition video and real-time broadcast video to many different formats at once, making the same content available in several spatial resolutions and frame rates. Traditional storage arrays just cannot handle…

Virtual Desktop Application Workloads
As of March 31, 2013, WHIPTAIL supports more than 175,000 VDI end users. Storage is typically the most challenging element of VDI deployments. Small, random WRITE IO requests push traditional HDD storage to the limit during normal operations. Boot storms, write allocation problems and latency from thin provisioning are frequent issues. While…
