SANTA CLARA, CA --(Marketwired - January 12, 2016) - Violin Memory®, Inc., (
In this second phase of the buildout, the firm has extended its investment in Violin's flash storage technology offerings, utilizing the Flash Storage Platform, to broaden the performance benefits of flash for Tier 1 primary storage workloads that historically ran on disk.
A key financial driver that created the customer's phase-two investment to accelerate the deployment economically, was Violin's "Pay-as-You-Grow" model, which allows customers to align storage investment with capacity as it is consumed. Using this model, the customer deployed the FSP 7300 array fully populated with the maximum storage capacity -- while allowing them to pay only for the capacity they needed at the time of acquisition. The program provides two primary benefits: 1) customers can upgrade effective capacity nearly instantaneously and at any time through a simple process in which Violin activates additional VIMM memory modules already on the array; 2) activating new capacity is non-disruptive, requiring no changes, no downtime and no interruption of daily operations.
"We're delighted to be selected again as the storage partner of this marquee global firm as they migrate to an all-silicon data center," said Kevin DeNuccio, CEO of Violin Memory. "Financial services create a myriad of applications in which every enterprise resource must respond with no perceptible delay. In this case, the firm's traders are 'consuming' multiple real time feeds of market data and analyzing those feeds to make smart, instant trading decisions. With the critical need for their analytics to be bulletproof, they have deployed the most reliable and fastest storage underlying their trading and investment decisions, and utilizing Violin's flash storage foundation equates to money in a financial trade."
