Atrato's Extreme Velocity Storage Leveraged by Leading Software Company
Single rack of HDD/SSD sets new standards in speed and efficiency; designed to support virtual data centers and extreme I/O applications
LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 6 -- Atrato, Inc. (http://www.Atrato.com), the leading provider of high performance autonomic tiered storage for data-intensive applications such as virtual environments, virtual desktops (VDI), business and scientific analytics, data warehousing, and Web 2.0 applications, announced today that the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center (MPSC), a dynamic IT data center servicing Microsoft organizations, partners, and customers, has leased Atrato's Extreme Velocity Storage (EVS) solution to support its high speed SAN environment, accelerating I/O capabilities for internal and external clients from Technology Finance Corporation (http://www.technologyfinancecorp.com).
The MPSC provides a range of IT infrastructure and application support to Microsoft Corp.'s customers and partners, including server consolidation and virtualization through its Microsoft Hyper-V(TM) environment. The Atrato solution has been selected to help Microsoft deploy and support its virtualized data center and to deliver peak performance for I/O intensive applications. The Atrato system supports multiple solutions for Windows Server environments including Microsoft 2008 R2 CSV Clustering, Windows DHCP, Windows Server Active Directory, and others, allowing customers to design, evaluate, and test applications needing extreme storage performance.
"Atrato has solved some of our toughest I/O challenges and continues to push the envelope in speed, efficiency, and scale," said David Hayes, director of the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center. "Because of this continued success, we have selected the Atrato platform to serve as our high performance SAN. The robust architecture will help us to sustain high bandwidth requirements within our virtual environment and to deliver new performance capabilities for our most data-intensive applications."
Atrato's Extreme Velocity Storage solution is a unique configuration comprised of the standard components within Atrato's Velocity Series. This single rack system includes three performance pods, each with 2.3 TB of solid state disk (SSD) performance and 25.6 TB of highly parallel spinning disk, with ApplicationSmart autonomic tiering software to simplify management. The system demonstrates over a million IOPS (100% random, 512-byte block sizes), delivering the industry's highest performance in a single rack, and the economic benefit of power efficiency and space savings. With Atrato's Extreme Velocity solution, Microsoft customers can optimize their IT applications, dynamically adapt to changing workloads, and simplify their environment with improved manageability.
"Microsoft continues to evaluate leading edge technologies that will help their customers solve unmet business needs," said Steve Visconti, president and CEO of Atrato. "We are pleased to be part of this ongoing partnership. The Microsoft Partner Solutions Center helps to create new opportunities that propel businesses forward. We are very excited to contribute to this initiative in such a powerful way, and look forward to continuing to solve pervasive performance issues in virtual environments."
