Operational Impact
The WIU was able to see immediate improvements in their data center after implementing OmniCube. The WIU is enjoying a data efficiency of 27:1 and capacity savings of 240TB thanks to SimpliVity’s Data Virtualization Platform that deduplicates, compresses, and optimizes data for efficient and instant results. | |
Everything that we’ve been running has been noticeably faster,” said Vaughan. “We used to have issues with Outlook clients disconnecting; the unexplained hiccups have all gone away. The number of complaints we received have definitely dropped.” | |
Now, Vaughan and his IT team are able to back up their most important application, the Exchange environment, the Hosted Moodle environment, as well as other critical applications daily. Retentions now happen within seconds— compared to eight hours—and are also being kept for 30 days. Backups and restores for their online courses have also been dramatically improved, going from half an hour to mere minutes. | |
