Case Study: BetOnSoft achieves 10x SQL Server performance and 9x faster backups with SanDisk Fusion ioMemory ioDrive cards

Betonsoft Doesn't Play Games With Its Microsoft Sql Server 2012 System

BetOnSoft, a fast-growing international online gaming software provider, faced rapidly rising traffic and ever-more data‑intensive features that strained its SQL Server infrastructure. The team needed to scale quickly, keep round‑the‑clock availability for a global player base, and eliminate maintenance tasks (like Check DB and backups) that previously caused timeouts and risked data corruption.

By deploying SanDisk Fusion ioMemory ioDrive cards with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn and moving active OLTP/OLAP data onto the ioDrives (with older playback archived to SAN), BetOnSoft simplified its infrastructure and greatly boosted performance and availability. The change enabled weekly Check DBs and on‑demand backups without user impact, delivered 10.8x faster Check DBs (900GB in 25 minutes vs 4.5 hours), 9x faster backups, 10x workload per server, ~200 ms replication and 14‑second failovers, and supported real‑time reporting directly on the OLTP system.
