Challenge
Running up to five BIM servers, which has rough system requirements, enormous amounts of IO/s.

“QSAN is offering us a flexible approach with storage, the XCubeSAN XS5226D never bends in front of IO/s“, said Jean-François Leroy, CTO, Sharkhan.

Solution
After many days, hours, coffees and comparing different solutions between QSAN and other tier-1 vendors we have chosen QSAN for its price and performance ratio. S&AA have five BIM servers virtualized and all using XS5226D as primary storage. This way its designers, marketing, and sales have permanent access to files and work applications, able to run real time demonstrations to customers, and work from home.

Benefits
The XCubeSAN is offering performance even under extreme workloads of BIM cloud servers. No latency allowed and there is none of it.
