Case Study: Ashkelon Academic College achieves 80% faster VDI performance with Kaminario K2

Ashkelon College uses Kaminario K2 to accelerate business and academics

Ashkelon Academic College faced severe VDI performance issues, high storage costs, and application latency across about 1,000 users in a fully virtualized environment. Its old EMC storage could not keep up with daily boot storms and mixed academic and business workloads, so the college turned to Kaminario and its K2 all-flash storage platform for help.

Kaminario implemented a K2 system first for VDI, then expanded it to support all college applications on a single flash platform. The results were immediate and measurable: VDI performance improved by up to 80%, boot times dropped from minutes to seconds, lab boot storms fell from 20 minutes to 5, and business reports ran in 10 minutes instead of 2 hours, with no performance degradation under load.
