Case Study: CMC Coal Marketing Company achieves faster VDI performance and simpler storage management with Tintri

Tintri Fuels Storage Innovation for Ireland’s Coal Marketing Company

CMC Coal Marketing Company, based in Dublin, Ireland, needed to improve storage performance for VDI and business applications, reduce the complexity of its legacy SAN, and lower storage costs. As its 100% virtualized environment grew, the company found that slow read/write times and limited capacity were hurting user experience and IT efficiency.

Tintri implemented VMstore T540 arrays and ReplicateVM for CMC Coal Marketing Company, giving the team a simpler, per-VM storage platform with local and off-site disaster recovery. The results included faster virtual desktops, SQL reporting that ran 3x faster, hot-standby recovery in under 10 minutes, and a major reduction in storage management overhead, while also improving performance across Exchange, document management, and older systems.
