Kaminario K2 Boosts Performance and Drives Predictable Growth for Telefonica
Challenge
-
Enhanced internet services were a growing and profitable business for Telefónica. However, storage performance couldn’t keep pace with demand.
Results
-
A dramatic performance boost during database maintenance with no service impacts:
-
Old storage processed only 1200 IO with delays of 10-12 miliseconds
-
Kaminario can process 240,000 IO in under 1/2 milliseconds
-
Ease of scalability and growth: Launched new services for Brazil potentially reaching over 80 million customers
-
The flexibility and predictability of scale-up and scale-out eliminate the requirement for deliberate over-provisioning. Capacity requirements decreased by two-thirds.
-
Efficiency gains include excellent performance that improves TCO, save time, and eliminate bottlenecks while enabling faster feature development and release.
-
With Kaminiario Adaptive Block Size, Telefónica gained a single storage platform that handles mixed application traffic on the fly, with no performance impact.
