PetMed Express Chooses Kaminario

Kaminario, Inc. announced
that PetMed Express, America’s online
pet pharmacy, has chosen the Kaminario K2 to accelerate its operational processes
and daily reporting.

After installing the K2, PetMed Express saw a 400% performance improvement in
its report processing and operational processes.

PetMed Express needed to resolve I/O-intensive database issues that
were slowing down its warehouse operations and call center reporting
capabilities. The company needed a solution that would enable it to keep its
current storage infrastructure but improve storage performance by at least 50%.
Cautious about the issues around SSD reliability, PetMed Express looked for a
performance SSD storage solution that would also provide HA and data
protection.

I/O wait issues caused by high drive latency prevented the PetMed
Express database from performing as expected, and the company was faced with
the decision of continuing to add more drives or replacing the entire storage
system. To speed up reporting and daily operation processes, the business
required a storage system that combined the speed of a SSD SAN
with HA and data protection capabilities.

PetMed Express chose the Kaminario K2. Its
performance and low latency impressed PetMed Express. The business
saw a 400% performance improvement in its report processing and operational
processes.

"These results far exceeded
our expectations," stated Chris DiGiacomo, systems director, PetMed
Express. "The Kaminario K2 solution
enabled us to maintain our current database environment and get more life out
of our existing systems."

DataProtect, the K2’s built-in HA and data protection capabilities,
enabled PetMed Express to consider performance SSD SAN solution
without the fear of drive failures or data loss.

According to DiGiacomo: "Those features made the decision to go with
the K2 much easier."

"Enterprises such as
PetMed Express need the assurance of high performance data access, availability
and protection," stated Dani Golan, CEO, Kaminario. "We are committed to working with our
customers to ensure that they get all these features in an easy-to-deploy and
cost-effective solution."
