SQL
SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) from Microsoft that's designed for the enterprise environment. Customers may use Microsoft's SQL Server to handle I/O-intensive data including transaction logs, temporary databases (tempdb) and indexes. Dataram’s XcelaSAN is the industry's first intelligent, block-level Fibre Channel storage optimization appliance that provides high-speed access to frequently accessed data via dynamic caching and resource allocation for maximum application performance. XcelaSAN dramatically improves productivity levels and offers flexibility for administrators in an easy to install and cost-effective solution. Integrated high availability eliminates costly and disruptive recovery processes.
Manufacturing
Challenge: Users demand faster response times during peak usage times. However, compaies may experience system slowdowns at peak usage times due to a high number of data-intensive updates.
XcelaSAN benefit: XcelaSAN optimization technology can help improve response times and support a higher number of concurrent users.
Online Auction Web Site
Challenge: Online auction Web site companies may experience I/O (input/output) constraints and bottlenecks during peak times and with increasing numbers of users. This can negatively impact the responsiveness of the Web site - as well as customer satisfaction. The cause of performance bottlenecks can be latency between the SQL Server database and the existing hard disk-based storage array.
XcelaSAN benefit: XcelaSAN technology can support significantly more users for better response time and increased customer satisfaction.
Financial / Banking Applications
Challenge: In a highly competitive customer service environment, developing stable financial systems with fast response times is critical to meet the high demands of millions of clients. As data traffic increases, compannies may experience performance problems with their banking transactions due to degradation in response times from their storage array. These performance degradations can also lead to problems with application stability. Under periods of heavy load, the application may even lock up and deny features to customers.
XcelaSAN benefit: XcelaSAN helps financial institutions to eliminate storage bottlenecks and increase overall system performance. This enables companies to provide optimal response times and deliver superior customer service.
