Arcadia, a global retailer, satisfies power-users with performance

Challenge

Arcadia's initial Citrix VDI deployment was predicated on estimated IOPS requirements across the general user base. However, after arcadia-1.pngrollout, they found that developers, programmers, and heavy users were putting a greater than expected burden on the system. The backend disk systems were incapable of servicing the demand. Performance slipped, and complaints mounted.

Results

  • Non-disruptive scale-up, scale-out enables unconstrained infrastructure growth

  • Performance increased from 5000 IOPS to 250,000 IOPS

  • Maintenance windows cut from 48 to 6 hours

  • Inclusive compression and deduplication

  • Five-year maintenance provides price stability
