Case Study: AMD speeds simulation tests by 5x and reduces storage footprint with Tintri VMstore

Leading microprocessor manufacturer speeds simulation tests by 5x and reduces storage footprint by 67% with Tintri

AMD, a leading semiconductor design innovator, needed faster storage for growing virtualized database and simulation workloads. Its existing EMC CLARiiON iSCSI environment lacked the performance, visibility, and compact footprint required to run large tests efficiently and to support a pod-based model for remote sites.

Tintri implemented a VMstore T540 dual-controller storage appliance with a pod-based architecture for AMD’s VMware environment. With Tintri, AMD cut simulation test times by 5x, reduced storage footprint at the primary site by 67%, and gained per-VM metrics that simplified monitoring and troubleshooting, helping lower both capital and operating costs.
