arvato Systems in B2B Operations With Violin Memory Flash Array

Violin Memory, Inc. announced its All-Flash Array solutions were selected by arvato Systems GmbH, an IT systems integrator and a Bertelsmann company, focused on ‘Digital Transformation Solutions.’

arvato Systems integrated Violin all-flash solutions to streamline the company’s storage and data centre infrastructure and increase performance for business-critical applications, including customer relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management (SCM).

Leveraging Violin’s proprietary Flash Fabric Architecture (FFA), the all-flash array solutions transform the speed of business with performance, storage and cost efficiencies, and always available, low-cost management of critical business information and applications. At the system’s core lies a resilient, highly available mesh of thousands of flash dies that work in concert to continuously optimize performance, latency, availability, and longevity to drive B2B operations.
