The municipality of Venray, Netherlands, faced storage performance challenges when implementing VMware Horizon View VDI for 450 employees. Their existing SAN lacked the IOPS capacity and budget constraints prevented hardware upgrades. Maxta's software-defined storage platform (MxSP) provided the ideal solution, delivering flash performance and enterprise capabilities without replacing existing infrastructure.
Key Benefits Achieved
- Avoided costly SAN upgrade while protecting existing storage investments
- Eliminated single points of failure through data replication across the virtualization cluster
- Simplified management with VM-level data services through single interface
- Improved performance with SSD read/write caching at lower cost than hardware solutions
