Five Fortune 500 Customers Implement Violin’s Flash Storage Platform

Names not disclosed

Violin Memory, Inc. announced its Flash Storage Platform (FSP) solutions have been selected by five prominent customers, all listed on the Fortune Global 500, an annual ranking of the top 500 companies worldwide as measured by revenue.

During the last two quarters since its introduction, FSP adoption has gained momentum with nine of the growing customer base being ranked on the Fortune Global 500 or Fortune 1000 lists.

With complex requirements and increasing demands for high levels of performance, resilience, support, and economic return, these newest Fortune Global 500 customers have deployed FSP in their data center environments to reduce the complexity and cost of managing data center workloads. Below are three examples of these deployments.

A manufacturing company chose the Violin 7300 FSP to deploy business software applications in their enterprise to manage high volume data transactions. Leveraging the performance and functionality of the FSP 7300, the customer is taking advantage of the featured FSP including snapshot and asynchronous replication for DR.

A worldwide networking provider selected Violin’s 7700 FSP to improve the efficiency of their operations by creating a virtual build environment that would reduce the time to market for new products and reduce costs. To protect their valuable data, the customer created a nested business continuance approach that included stretch clusters for local protection, and asynchronous replication for protecting data for sites 1,000 miles apart.

A multi-national corporation with diversified products and services that include IT and communications equipment and systems, electronic components, and more, has implemented the Concerto OS 7 suite of software on the Violin 7300 FSP to support their operations.

Originally, large enterprises leveraged flash storage primarily for high value database and transaction system applications,” said Kevin DeNuccio, CEO, Violin. “However, with the introduction of Violin’s Flash Storage Platform, visionary brands across all industries can now realize the broader benefits of moving and consolidating all of their workloads and applications to a single tier of flash-based primary storage and transform their data center in terms of simplicity, performance and cost.

Violin FSP optimized solutions transform the speed of business, combining a variety of enterprise data services that encompass data protection, storage efficiency and BC with performance and density under a dual-everything Flash Fabric Architecture.
