Thrive Operations Customer of Infinidat

Infinidat Ltd announced that Thrive Operations, LLC, a provider of next generation managed services, has deployed its enterprise InfiniBox as its storage platform.

InfiniBox’s petabyte-scale performance capability enables Thrive to deliver enterprise storage performance, availability and security to its 500+ customers worldwide.

“Infinidat is much more than a storage vendor,” said Jay Adams, CFO, Thrive. “They are an integral part of the Thrive Cloud Platform of Next Generation Managed Services. Their performance, reliability and cost advantages are important differentiators for us in a highly competitive environment.”

As one of the largest MSPs in the US, Thrive focuses upon mid-market clientele with a concentration in the financial services sector. In addition to private equity, hedge fund, banking and asset management, it also has practices in life sciences, healthcare, higher education, retail and other industries known for having extensive storage needs and strict security requirements.

“We’ve seen a measurable increase in performance since migrating all of our U.S. Datacenter Cloud Nodes to Infinidat over the past year,” said Michael Gray, CTO, Thrive. “Customer requests for proof of storage performance metrics, which were common with our previous storage platform, have become non-existent with Infinidat. When one client moved its physical database to Thrive’s Infinidat-enabled virtual platform, they experienced a 10x performance improvement. We’re seeing improvements like these across the board.“

InfiniBox eliminates the traditional compromises companies need to make between reliability, cost and performance at scale for enterprise storage. With the capabilities necessary to support the performance-intensive workloads of the datacenter, tit allows MSPs to spend more time helping customers and growing their businesses, and less on managing storage.

Thrive uses Infinidat technology to sharpen its competitive advantage in other ways. InfiniBox delivers (99.99999%) data availability through a self-healing architecture and replication. This seven-nines availability – the equivalent of 3.15s of downtime per year – is a differentiator for Thrive in the competitive MSP marketplace. For support, Infinidat’s proactive monitoring and support for optimizing storage infrastructure performance enables Thrive to deploy its resources on value-added and revenue-generating activities. Infinidat’s flexible business models also make it easy for Thrive to scale its operations – to align investments to incoming revenue from clients and predictably manage growth.

“Thrive is a prime example of an MSP with vision,” said Brian Carmody, CTO, Infinidat. “Data is powering today’s business expansions, and storage needs will grow exponentially with the increased use of multimedia and more intensive applications. Using Infinidat’s scalable, secure and reliable solutions, Thrive can provide enterprise storage that exceeds customers’ service-level objectives now and far into the future.“
