Case Study: Budd Van Lines achieves 2.5x faster VDI performance and 75% request offload with Infinio

Budd Van Lines improves VDI user experience with Infinio

Budd Van Lines, an executive relocation and logistics firm, ran a large VMware-based VDI environment supporting office staff and hundreds of mobile movers. Users experienced slow, unpredictable application performance during boot/login storms and when VDI sessions swapped to disk, overwhelming their ZFS storage and causing long read latencies that hurt productivity during peak season.

Budd Van Lines deployed Infinio’s server-side, deduplicated read cache across ESXi hosts to use otherwise idle RAM and offload reads from the array. The non-disruptive install delivered a 2.5x improvement in read response times, offloaded about 75% of storage requests, reduced network bandwidth needs, and stabilized performance during I/O spikes — all without rebooting or changing existing storage operations.
