First National Technology Solutions Offering EMC xTremIO Capability

One of first MSP to do it

First National Technology Solutions (FNTS) has become one of the first MSP to offer EMC’s xTremIO capability, a specialized SAN incorporating a SSD that leverages flash memory to pull data as much as 100 times faster than standard SANs with mechanical HDDs,” announced Ken Kucera, president and CEO of FNTS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of one of the Midwest’s largest financial holding companies, First National of Nebraska.

xTremIO provides us with another platform to help our customers achieve excellence with their customers via greatly improved performance,” Kucera said. “This capability will make it possible to transform a 3.5-hour database load into a 30-minute process or take a SQL query that previously ran for more than two hours on existing equipment and completing it in 16 to 20mn.

He said typical storage solutions operating at optimal performance will produce response times between three and 10 ms per I/O while xTremIO responds between .5 and one ms per I/O.

When you consider that each SQL query may generate millions of I/O’s each time it’s run, the difference between 10 milliseconds and one millisecond multiplied that many times can mean a significant improvement in performance and response times,” Kucera said.

Also, the performance of traditional storage solutions may begin to struggle between 80,000 and 100,000 IO/s. and beyond that level, may shut down or stop responding altogether. xTremIO can sustain more than one million IO/s while operating at its high rate of speed. Obviously, providing this level of performance will be more expensive than traditional SAN solutions, so FNTS recommends targeting xTremIO to those areas of customers’ applications where it will have the greatest impact on overall performance.

This is meant to be a targeted solution, aimed at improving performance in our customers’ most critical areas,” he said.

By continually looking for solutions to improve customer experience and offering ways to improve the way they do business, xTremIO is only the beginning of new technology and service offerings FNTS will be announcing yet this year.
