A powerful primary storage device that accelerates mission critical data and expands virtual capacity.
WhipTail™ Technologies’ patent pending solid state storage appliance solves most disk contention issues and reduces report run time by a factor of 10, allowing executives and decision-makers to make better decisions with more up-to-date information, thus providing with a their organization competitive advantage.
The Whiptail solution utilizes industry standard storage presentation protocols,
a proprietary software stack, and the fastest flash-based appliances on the market.
WhipTail is designed to drastically reduce disk contention and access times, allowing database or virtualization servers to process more data in dramatically less time. Internal and independent tests show more than a 95 percent reduction in database report generation and load time compared with traditional magnetic disks.
Overall database performance is mostly limited by the performance of a few volumes.
With Exchange the log volume demands the most IOPS. With database transactions there are many index files that are all IO intensive. The table below compares high performance storage for transactional applications, providing about 150.000 IOPS.

RUG is doing VDI proof of concept with WhipTail
Based upon Red Hat KVM is University Groningen doing a VDI proof of concept, they selected WhipTail as the storage platform VDI is IO hungry, the WhipTail XLR8r with 150.000 IOPS is perfect for this world.

WhipTail can also enhance revenue / profitability by:
* Increasing the rate at which transactions,
reservations, or sales are handled.
* Improving productivity, allowing organizations to
meet tighter deadlines or market schedules
* Enabling faster searches, thus enhancing
customer experience when buying online.
"Since VDI is IO hungry, our VDI deployment via classic spinning disks was going to be too expensive.
With 100 concurrent VDI desktops, WhipTail delivered over 60,000 read IOs. WhipTail is the affordable SSD SAN for our RedHat VDI project."
