Case Study: Bartlett Wealth Management achieves reduced disk contention, eliminated performance helpdesk tickets, and an 18-month storage purchase deferral with Infinio

Resolves disk contention, and delays storage purchase for 18 months

Bartlett & Co., a Cincinnati-based Registered Investment Advisor, runs critical line-of-business applications and virtual desktops on vSphere clusters that share EqualLogic storage (about 25TB used of 40TB). Users began experiencing noticeable latency from disk contention between the server and VDI clusters, generating performance helpdesk tickets, while budget constraints made buying new arrays impractical.

After a free 30-day trial, Bartlett deployed Infinio first on the VDI cluster and then on server VMs, offloading peak reads of over 14,175 reads/s (≈14k IOPS). The install immediately reduced latencies, stopped performance-related tickets, and allowed Bartlett to delay a storage purchase for about 18 months while confidently moving forward with planned upgrades.
