Challenge
This data center provides a range of hosting services and IT solutions tailored to individuals, SMBs, enterprises, banks, and government sectors. With a track record of growth, the firm anticipates a surge in enterprise demand in the near future.

To meet this growing demand, this data center has embarked on a transformative journey to revamp our outdated IT infrastructure. Over the years, the rising costs of part replacement and maintenance, coupled with inadequate performance, have necessitated this overhaul.

Solution:

In collaboration with partner DGTEC, this data center has determined that only an NVMe AFA can fulfill their requirements. With a focus on lower latency, faster response times, reduced power consumption, performance, rapid data transfer, and mitigated bottlenecks, they thoroughly reviewed multiple NVMe AFA options available in the market.

Following consultations with DGTEC, this data center made the decision to deploy the Qsan XF3126D. This solution meets their high IO/s and μs-level latency needs and also aligns with their procurement budget. The initial system deployment has already showcased noticeable improvements in performance and stability, further solidifying the suitability of the solution.

Impressed by the results, this data center has decided to expand their infrastructure by deploying a second Qsan XF3126D system within just 6 months. This highlights their confidence in the product’s capabilities and its integration within their environment.

We are delighted to have discovered this exceptional NVMe All-Flash solution, and its overall performance has exceeded our expectations. Given the significant increase in demand, we are confident in deploying more systems to meet the growing needs,” said IT manager.
