Case Study: Silicon Sky boosts IaaS performance and scalability with Infinidat

Silicon Sky boosts its IaaS offering to customers with Infinidat

Silicon Sky, a specialist IT infrastructure services company with operations in South Africa, the UK and the US, needed to scale its rapidly growing IaaS business while supporting a true multi-tenant environment. Its existing storage setup had multiple tiers, limited scalability, and required manual HDD-to-SSD migrations to meet performance demands, creating complexity, customer disruption, and added cost. The company turned to Infinidat and its InfiniBox enterprise storage system to address these challenges.

Infinidat implemented InfiniBox as a single-tier storage platform, with an initial 500 TB system provisioned and integrated in just one day and additional arrays added as demand grew. The solution delivered high performance, 100% availability, strong redundancy, and segregated data for each tenant while keeping costs predictable and competitive. As a result, Silicon Sky improved customer experience, gained a competitive edge in the IaaS market, and expanded to several InfiniBox arrays with petabytes of capacity.
