Accelerate performance and eliminate the risk of service downtimes
Spojenie kvalitných diskových polí IBM FlashSystem a skúseností eGroup Solutions zabezpečí rýchly beh akýchkoľvek aplikácií bez výpadkov.
How to significantly speed up all business applications? One way is to choose the right, fast data storage. In this article, we'll show you how to use IBM FlashSystem disk arrays to help your business.
Significant acceleration
Thanks to the use of SSD or flash memory, it is possible to significantly speed up any common server application working in real time - web or portal applications of all kinds, aplications using elements of artificial intelligence, as well as all database, ERP and CRM applications.
The difference can be huge. Experience shows that after replacing conventional rotary disk systems with flash memory, the time to perform I/O operations can be reduced, from 2,5 to 3 milliseconds (ms) to hundreds of microseconds.
„The difference is most visible in applications with thousands of clients simultaneously accessing the same data or in general in applications demanding reading and writing data," says Stanislav Dzúrik from IBM Slovakia about the benefits of the flash system.
The use of flash memory is definitely a step to reduce the risk of data loss when storing data. Unlike rotating discs, they do not have rotating parts or moving heads above the recording medium, the failure of which usually caused the failure of these discs.
Professional care without downtimes
In order for the IT infrastructure to perform the required tasks, it must be properly designed, properly implemented and operated with sufficient professional care. This requires many years of experience, constant monitoring of trends and training in individual technological areas. This is what eGroup Solutions, IBM's platinum partner, excels at.
eGroup Solutions brings its customers a concept called Zero Downtime. In one package, you get everything you need for the smooth running of the infrastructure - from its professional design, through professional operation, above-standard support and additional services. The aim is to ensure a well-functioning infrastructure that will run without downtime.
„Vďaka našim dlhoročným skúsenostiam s návrhom, implementáciou a prevádzkou riešení, vytvárame zákazníkovi komfort a pokoj pre jeho prácu, lebo všetky činnosti a stresy spojené s prevádzkou IT riešime za neho, prípadne spoločne s ním,“ vysvetľuje spôsob práce Rudolf Bohuš z eGroup Solutions.
The recipe for success
The recipe for a fast and well-functioning IT infrastructure is a combination of IBM FlashSystem disk arrays and the experience of eGroup Solutions. This will significantly speed up any server applications and reduce the risk of costly downtimes to a minimum.
