Case Study: Ohio National Financial Services achieves dramatic VDI performance gains and major cost savings with Pure Storage

Ohio National Financial Services Invests with Pure Storage

Ohio National Financial Services, a North American financial-services firm, deployed VDI for about 1,300 employees but ran into major disruptions when its legacy spinning-disk storage couldn’t meet demand. Users experienced disconnects, freezing screens and unacceptable latency that affected not just desktops but critical business applications and executives, creating an urgent need for a reliable storage solution.

After an all‑in proof of concept, the company selected a Pure Storage flash array for its superior performance and 14:1 data reduction. Moving production to Pure eliminated the VDI problems, cut a hedging job from as much as 32 hours to 2 hours and a nightly security inventory from 4–5 hours to one minute, halved VDI recompose times, reduced power and cooling costs by 90%, deferred capacity purchases, simplified storage management, and accelerated application‑development projects.
