Case Study: GoWireless achieves better performance and lower storage costs with Pogo Linux and NexentaStor

Confidently implements NexentaStorTM to tame challenges of fast growth today and to lay groundwork for cloud computing tomorrow

GoWireless, an Exclusive Verizon Wireless Premium Retailer, faced strained storage and networking systems due to rapid growth of 100 new stores in just over a year. Challenges included performance bottlenecks, vendor lock-in, rising virtualization administration costs, and the need for higher reliability. Pogo Linux implemented a NexentaStor solution on Supermicro hardware to address these issues and build a best-of-breed storage environment.

The NexentaStor solution from Pogo Linux provided 50% more storage at 60% less cost than expanding their legacy system. It delivered improved performance, reliability, and IT productivity, plus capabilities for real-time problem detection and streamlined virtualization management. The solution successfully scaled to support GoWireless's growth and laid the groundwork for their future cloud computing initiatives.
