Case Study: The Dingley Press achieves non-stop catalog printing and instant VM recovery with Reduxio Systems' HX550

Non-Stop Catalog Printing Enabled By Reduxio Storage

The Dingley Press, the 5th largest catalog printer in the U.S., runs tens of production VMs and nearly 100 virtual desktops to support printing, logistics and mail operations; with weekly mailings to 15M addresses, any storage instability risked costly 24x7 downtime. After finding their software‑defined storage unreliable, they selected Reduxio and the HX550 (550HX) flash storage for higher performance and BackDating-based instant recoverability.

Reduxio implemented the HX550 with in‑memory dedupe/compression and BackDating, improving VDI and application responsiveness and enabling near‑instant recovery. The deployment delivered measurable gains: 4.7× more effective space, 6× faster VM deployment (1.5 hours → 15 minutes) and 15× faster VM recovery (30 minutes → 2 minutes), while simplifying cloning and test/dev workflows.
