Case Study: Architectural Nexus achieves higher VDI performance and lower storage costs with DataCore software-defined storage

Architectural Nexus cuts I/O response time 50% with Datacore

Architectural Nexus, an innovative architectural design firm, faced performance bottlenecks and high costs supporting large 3D design files and a planned Citrix VDI rollout. Their existing storage could not deliver the required fast I/O and low latency, and upgrading their traditional SAN was cost-prohibitive. They turned to their provider, Universal Systems, who recommended a DataCore software-defined storage solution.

Implementing DataCore on commodity hardware, Architectural Nexus achieved massive performance gains, including a 385,000 IOPS throughput and a 50% reduction in file open/save times. The DataCore solution supported four times the VDI density at roughly half the cost of a new SAN, eliminating user frustration and accelerating project workflows. The firm has made DataCore the cornerstone of its storage strategy.
