Case Study: SpringbokSQL achieves up to 800,000 IOPS and a compact, energy-efficient database appliance with SanDisk Fusion ioMemory PCIe

Springboksql And Fusion Iomemory Pcie Solutions Conquer Database I/O Bottlenecks For Superior Performance

SpringbokSQL is a database appliance maker founded to solve a common pain point Alex Alexander saw in 30 years of DBA work: organizations spend excessive time sizing and deploying generic servers while their biggest bottleneck—I/O performance—remains overlooked. Customers running MySQL, MariaDB and PostGIS workloads were experiencing replication lag and slow mixed I/O throughput because commodity hardware isn’t optimized for database I/O.

SpringbokSQL’s plug-and-play appliance, built after eight months of benchmarking and tuned around Fusion ioMemory™ PCIe (SanDisk) flash, delivers a compact, NEBS-certified, no-moving-parts platform available in three capacity tiers. The appliance simplified deployment and reduced rack space and energy use while dramatically improving performance — tests showed up to 800,000 IOPS and a real-world replication catch-up that dropped from five days to four hours.
