AMD Speeds Simulation Tests by 5x and Reduces Storage Footprint by 67% With Tintri VMstore
Customer Case Study
AMD is a semiconductor design innovator leading the next era of vivid digital experiences with its groundbreaking AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). AMD’s graphics and computing technologies power a variety of solutions including PCs, game consoles, and servers that drive the Internet and businesses.
Challenge
- Insufficient performance made it difficult to run large simulation tests successfully
- Lack of useful metrics for monitoring and troubleshooting the virtual environment
- Storage for remote locations required significant space, creating challenges at smaller sites
Solution
- Tintri VMstore
Results
- Simulation tests run five times faster on Tintri, dramatically reducing completion times
- Storage space footprint at primary site is reduced by 67%
- Performance and capacity metrics on a per-VM basis allow granular monitoring and troubleshooting, saving time
- Ability to create pod-based architecture with high VM density for remote locations reduces operational costs
What AMD is Saying
A single VMstore can deliver more performance than multiple iSCSI-based systems, and meets the performance needs of our 1.5TB Oracle database. We still have performance headroom to spare on the appliance and are looking to deploy other VMstore systems on it as well.
