Case Study: GleSYS Internet Services AB achieves 9X server density, 2X IOPS and 10X reduced admin time with Nexenta (NexentaStor)

GleSYS Offers the Next Generation of Cloud Solutions with Nexenta and SanDisk InfiniFlash

GleSYS is a next‑generation cloud hosting provider based in Sweden that operates multiple modern data centers and a highly virtualized platform. They were facing ongoing storage performance problems with their legacy HDD-based architecture—IOPS bottlenecks that caused customer performance complaints, frequent admin time resolving issues, and uncertainty about handling unpredictable workload spikes.

Working with Layer 8 IT‑Services, GleSYS deployed NexentaStor combined with SanDisk InfiniFlash as primary storage. The flash‑based solution delivered predictable high performance (steady ~20K IOPS, peaks to ~80K, sub‑1.5 ms latency), eliminated outages, cut admin time dramatically (from ~40 hours/month to ~2–4), improved server density and IOPS, and produced a three‑year ROI—resulting in better customer satisfaction and increased revenue opportunities.
