Case Study: Internet Systems Consortium achieves high-availability VMware performance with iXsystems TrueNAS

Internet Systems Consortium cuts VMware update time from 3-4 hours to 30 minutes with iXsystems

Internet Systems Consortium (ISC), a non-profit organization responsible for key internet infrastructure like BIND DNS, needed a centralized storage solution with high availability and commercial support for their VMware environment. Their previous local storage lacked redundancy and advanced features like vMotion. ISC turned to iXsystems for a TrueNAS solution that fit their budget as a 501(c)(3) organization.

iXsystems implemented a High Availability TrueNAS system with dual controllers and redundant networking. This solution provided the required commercial support and dramatically improved performance, reducing VMware upgrade times from 3-4 hours to just 30 minutes and nearly doubling network throughput to 6Gb/s. The TrueNAS system also gave ISC the scalability and near-instant snapshot and replication capabilities they needed for their future growth.
