Case Study: Telestream achieves 50% application performance boost and eliminates Exchange timeouts with Condusiv Technologies' V-locity I/O reduction software

Telestream Solves MS Exchange Timeouts and Boosts SQL with V-locity I/O Reduction Software

Telestream, a provider of video capture and delivery products, had virtualized about 80% of its environment but began seeing progressive slowdowns after about a year—especially for I/O‑intensive apps like MS Exchange, SQL and Jira. Users started timing out and disconnecting from Exchange as queue depth and latency spiked; investigation showed Windows write inefficiencies creating many tiny, fractured reads/writes that overwhelmed their backend storage.

Telestream evaluated and deployed Condusiv’s V-locity I/O‑reduction software, which prevents split I/Os and uses idle DRAM for caching in a “set‑and‑forget” way. During the 30‑day trial Exchange timeouts disappeared and application performance improved roughly 50% across I/O‑heavy workloads; performance reverted when the trial ended, confirming the cause and prompting purchase.
