Proven VDI Customer Success
VDI is deployed in approximately 30 percent of all PernixData FVP deployments, making it one of the most common applications to benefit from a decoupled storage architecture.

When Southern Waste Systems implemented VDI, for example, the company needed a way to reduce latency while keeping costs low. After considering several flash arrays and hyperconverged solutions, Southern Waste Systems selected PernixData FVP software because it is non-disruptive to install, avoided a six-figure storage and network upgrade, and enabled virtual desktops to perform faster than physical desktops.

"PernixData fit naturally with our company's philosophy of zero waste," said Nick Casagrande, IT director at Southern Waste Systems. "We didn't have to buy a new storage array or even new flash -- we were able to utilize the existing RAM in our hosts to get better performance without any changes to our environment."

For Whatcom Community College, finding a remedy for troublesome storage latency spikes afflicting their VMware Horizon View environment proved to be elusive. Seamlessly augmenting their existing server and storage infrastructure, PernixData FVP software with server-side SSDs enabled a decoupled storage architecture that finally provided relief.

"We instantly saw the performance improvements," recalled Ward Naf, IT Director at Whatcom Community College. "Latency decreased 88 percent."
