Case Study: Altenloh, Brinck & Co. U.S. achieves same-day order processing and $250K hardware savings with Condusiv Technologies' V-locity

Solves Critical ERP System Bottleneck to Speed Order Processing and Shipping

Altenloh, Brinck & Co. U.S. (ABC U.S.), maker of TRUFAST and SPAX fastening products, faced severe I/O bottlenecks after deploying a new Epicor ERP system. The SAN and virtual infrastructure were overloaded, causing SQL waits, system crashes, data corruption, handheld scanner lockups, and order processing so slow that shipping was routinely delayed by a day while IT spent weeks troubleshooting.

ABC U.S. deployed Condusiv’s V-locity on Windows VMs to optimize I/O at the OS layer using IntelliWrite and IntelliMemory to prevent split I/Os and cache active data. The change eliminated crashes and device lockups, restored scanner and printing reliability, enabled same-day order processing and shipping, freed IT from constant firefighting, and avoided about $250K in hardware spend while delivering substantial performance gains.
