Case Study: Plex Systems achieves scalable, simplified IT and 24x7 availability with Dell Technologies

Scaling fast to meet explosive customer growth

Plex Systems, a multi-tenant SaaS provider processing 10 billion transactions a day and experiencing double-digit quarterly growth for a decade, needed cost-efficient, flexible and reliable data center infrastructure to ensure 24x7 availability and continue scaling. To meet these challenges, Plex turned to Dell Technologies for a solution that could be deployed quickly, simplify operations and keep IT focused on application development.

Dell Technologies implemented Dell EMC Vscale architecture and Dell EMC VxBlock 1000 converged infrastructure—incorporating PowerMax and XtremIO X2 storage and Data Domain protection—across paired sites for scalability and disaster recovery. The Dell Technologies deployment delivered 24x7 availability, simplified operations with single-vendor support, a 97% customer renewal rate, 50% faster application response times and roughly 5:1 data compression to lower storage costs.
