Technicolor, a German service provider known for its innovative TeutoStack OpenStack cloud offering, faced performance limitations with its existing Ceph storage solution, especially for demanding database workloads related to analytics, machine learning and AI. Seeking a high-performance, low-latency block storage alternative, they partnered with vendor Excelero to implement its NVMesh software-defined storage platform.
Excelero's NVMesh, deployed on commodity hardware with Mellanox networking, provided a high-performance block storage tier for OpenStack via its Cinder driver. The solution delivered a 2,000% increase in IOPS and a 1000% reduction in latency compared to Ceph. This measurable performance impact allowed Technicolor to confidently recommend its NVMesh-based TeutoStack Cloud for customers with the most demanding private cloud OpenStack requirements.
