Case Study: Creative Office Pavilion achieves 80–90% faster SQL, CRM and email response with Condusiv Technologies' V-locity

Creative Office Pavilion Design Firm Deploys V-locity Acceleration Software for 90% Faster SQL, CRM and Email

Creative Office Pavilion, a Boston-based design firm with nine East Coast branches, supports architects, designers and project teams who work with massive drawings, presentations and databases. Their IT environment—running SQL Server, CRM, Lotus Notes and a heavy order-entry system across VMware—was plagued by sluggish application performance, slow queries and constant server health checks that consumed IT time and frustrated users.

They deployed V-locity on all Windows VMs in their VMware cluster to optimize I/O at the OS layer (using caching and write-optimization), which immediately improved throughput and eliminated split I/Os. The result: 80–90% faster response for SQL, CRM and email, full backups cut from a day to a few hours, user complaints and performance-related support calls disappeared, and planned SAN replacement was deferred.
