Application Service Providers (ASPs)

The ASP business model is to provide individuals or enterprises access over the Internet to applications and related services that would otherwise have to be located on-site. Customer demand for these services is often unpredictable, causing high I/O activity that exceeds the capabilities of storage resources. Application performance is no longer acceptable and customer productivity is negatively impacted. The traditional solution of over-provisioning disk space can be costprohibitive. In addition, the ASP cannot host additional clients until the problem is resolved, resulting in lost revenues. The XcelaSAN provides the additional storage scalability to meet the high demands of ASPs and deliver unprecedented performance.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

Successful ISPs need to provide rapid access to information. Customers performing online searches expect prompt responses to their queries - and if those expectations are not met, they are likely to take their business to a competitor.

When application performance degrades it is often the storage system’s inability to efficiently process high I/O (input/output) levels, causing latency. ISPs can significantly decrease response time and increase customer service and satisfaction by using XcelaSAN to host the transaction-intensive data from Web caches, search engines, and mail and news servers.

Grid Computing

Grid computing enables multiple applications to share computing resources, providing greater performance, scalability and availability. Hundreds of servers can access the same data or data sets, causing the disk system to become the bottleneck. As an intelligent, block-level storage optimization appliance, XcelaSAN dynamically caches frequently-used data, allowing grid customers to process more information in less time.

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 can help you realize the full potential of your existing storage infrastructure - and keep your customers satisfied!
