Case Study: teutoStack achieves low-latency, high-performance OpenStack storage with Excelero NVMesh

High-performance And Low-latency Storage For Openstack

teuto.net, a leading German service provider operating the teutoStack OpenStack cloud, faced a challenge with their existing Ceph storage solution. Its performance lagged and latency was too high to support new, demanding workloads like analytics, machine learning and AI. They needed a high-performance, low-latency block storage solution to meet these requirements and support their Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) and virtual machine offerings.

Excelero implemented its NVMesh software-defined storage platform to create a high-performance storage tier. The solution leveraged Excelero's unique RDMA technology and was deployed on commodity hardware with Mellanox networking. The results were exceptional, with teuto.net achieving a 1000% reduction in latency and a 2000% increase in IOPS compared to their previous Ceph storage, enabling them to successfully capture growth in new, performance-intensive application areas.
