Managed Cloud Service Provider INetU Installed Infinidat InfiniBox

Infinidat, Ltd, a provider of enterprise storage solutions, announces that INetU, Inc., a managed cloud hosting and security services provider headquartered in Allentown, PA, has installed the InfiniBox enterprise storage solution to provide its customers with a more scalable, flexible system for managing their most important asset, their data.

INetU offers SAN infrastructure to private cloud customers in order to meet their demanding performance needs. In an expansion of that offering, INetU has teamed with Infinidat to provide a shared SAN option that features a lower price point, faster provisioning and more flexibility to meet customers’ ever-changing storage needs.

“As a managed cloud service provider, we wanted to be able to offer our customers a high performance shared SAN solution that can be quickly provisioned,” said Andrew Hodes, CTO, INetU.

The InfiniBox enterprise solution allows INetU to get customers up and running without having to rely on multiple hardware installations and processes. If a customer requires 100TB of storage, INetU can deliver it with InfiniBox. The InfiniBox solution also meets the security requirements of the INetU clients, separating each customer and ensuring all data can be secure and compliant.

The InfiniBox was subjected to testing during a proof of concept run by INetU that found that the InfiniBox exceeded testing requirements, delivering performance levels that meet the needs of I customers and proving to be a reliable machine.

“We found that the InfiniBox outperformed every other spinning disk and hybrid solution we tested,” said Hodes. “Most impressive is that the InfiniBox performance was near that of an all-flash array in many benchmarks and at a fraction of the cost per GB. We conducted numerous failure tests, ranging from taking out a node to pulling multiple disks, and the InfiniBox didn’t blink an eye.“

“Cloud service providers are constantly seeking more efficient ways to respond to their customers’ ever-changing storage demands,” said Randy Arseneau, CMO, Infinidat. “While performance is certainly a vital element of the services they provide, they need a storage system that is also highly available and can be scaled easily and cost-effectively. InfiniBox provides INetU with the flexibility to put one or more customers on a single system while ensuring that there is ample performance headroom to go around. It delivers the capacity they need whenever their customers request it, without requiring an onerous investment of cost or time.“
