A SanDisk Case Study
GleSYS is a next-generation cloud provider serving ~3,500 customers from five global data centers. Rapid growth exposed limitations in its legacy storage: unpredictable per-VM IOPS, performance-related customer complaints, high admin overhead, and concerns about power, footprint and cost.
By deploying NexentaStor with SanDisk InfiniFlash (with Layer‑8 support) in its Falkenberg site, GleSYS achieved dramatic improvements: more consistent performance (constant ~20,000 IOPS, peaks to 80,000, latency <1.5 ms), a 2× IOPS uplift, 9× better server density, a 10× reduction in admin time (from ~40 to 2–4 hours/month) and an expected three‑year ROI. The move eliminated outages and complaints, freed staff for higher‑value work, and enabled significant data-center space and cost savings.
