NEWTON, MA--(Marketwired - Apr 28, 2015) - Kaminario, the leading all-flash array storage provider for midrange enterprises, today announced that Excellence Nessuah has selected Kaminario's K2 all-flash array for its internal Citrix-based XenDesktop VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environment and additional environments. Excellence Nessuah, one of the largest and leading investment houses, will rely on Kaminario to power its XenDesktop VDI platform, bringing efficient scalability and easier manageability of its business operations as well as increased access for hundreds of additional users.
The investment house required an instantly deployable storage solution capable of handling and supplying high levels of service and resiliency for its internal Citrix XenDesktop environment, without reducing response time or performance degradation. It selected Kaminario's K2 for its scalability, flexibility and quick response times. Additionally, K2 enables Excellence Nessuah to maintain consistent performance with variable loads, gives the organization freedom to increase the number of users with non-disruptive service and reduces costs while allowing the company to scale. K2 also helps Excellence Nessuah simplify management of larger data capacities by including data reduction features.
"We chose Kaminario's storage solution for our Citrix VDI environment because we needed an all-flash solution with a modern architecture and competitive costs that rival those of traditional storage solutions," said Zhaki Kaner, CTO, Excellence Nessuah. "The K2 system's advanced data reduction capabilities and stellar performance has allowed us to expand the use of the solution beyond the VDI environment to other environments in the organization."
