arvato Systems boosts enterprise data services and drives performance with all-flash array

Violin Memory's all-flash array solutions were selected by arvato Systems, a global next-generation IT systems integrator, focused on "digital transformation solutions.” arvato Systems integrated Violin all-flash solutions to streamline the company’s storage and data centre infrastructure and increase performance for business-critical applications, including customer relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management (SCM).

Violin all-flash arrays were implemented to drive faster customer response times and keep pace with rapid global business expansion. Leveraging Violin’s proprietary Flash Fabric Architecture (FFA), the Violin all-flash array solutions transform the speed of business with ultra-high performance, storage and cost efficiencies, and always available, low-cost management of critical business information and applications. At the system’s core lies a resilient, highly available mesh of thousands of flash dies that work in concert to continuously optimise performance, latency, availability, and longevity to drive B2B operations.

“Violin solutions provided the flexibility to offer performance and scalability, ultimately enabling us to deliver optimum business results for our customers on a global scale,” said Jesko Jacobs, senior manager, data centre and infrastructure production at arvato Systems. “Not only are Violin all-flash arrays crucial in meeting our demanding customer requirements, the knowledge and support of the Violin staff to address any questions accurately and quickly has been essential for completing day-to-day business operations.”
