Case Study: Supreme Lending achieves dramatic MS‑SQL performance gains and avoids costly hardware upgrades with Condusiv Technologies' V-locity

National Mortgage Lender Eliminates Sluggish MS-SQL Applications with V-locity I/O Reduction Software

Supreme Lending, a national mortgage banker with over 100 branches, was struggling with sluggish performance in its mission‑critical, home‑grown loan origination system running on MS‑SQL. Despite using newer Nimble hybrid storage arrays, growing users and data caused slow queries (reports taking 5–10 minutes) and long screen/load times, and the company wanted to avoid costly all‑flash hardware upgrades.

They deployed Condusiv’s V‑locity I/O reduction software, which eliminates small, fractured I/Os and uses idle server DRAM for caching to offload storage traffic. As a result, report times fell from 5–10 minutes to about 30 seconds, login times dropped from 30 to 10 seconds, screen navigation became nearly instant, IOPS were freed on backend storage, and the lender avoided hundreds of thousands in upgrade costs.
