Case Study: RackTop improves performance validation and accelerates CI/CD with Virtana Storage Load Testing

RackTop running meaningful tests within one week with Virtana

RackTop, a provider of cyber-secure enterprise storage, faced a challenge in its QA process. Its internal tools were unable to generate the large, multi-client workloads needed to properly validate the performance and protocol compatibility of its BrickStor SP product before release. This led to performance issues being discovered by customers in the field, which slowed their release cycle. To address this, RackTop turned to Virtana and its Storage Load Testing solution.

Virtana provided a solution that could simulate heavy workloads from numerous clients without requiring extensive hardware. This allowed RackTop's team to run consistent, repeatable tests on new software builds, uncovering performance bottlenecks and optimizing configurations. The implementation of Virtana Storage Load Testing improved release quality, reduced rollbacks, and accelerated the overall CI/CD pipeline. The team was able to derive value quickly, running meaningful tests within just one week of onboarding.
