Melio5 data Acceleration Platform Sanbolic ... So Much More than Shared Storage
Andy Melmed, Vice President of the enterprise architecture Sanbolic, a global leader in data management and storage software-defined and long-time partner Citrix-Ready. Although I have written many articles over the years that describe the value to Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop, my reason for writing this particular article came from a recent epiphany I had in our society: How hundreds of Citrix clients using our flagship product "Melio" to simplify and improve their applications and deployments of desktop virtualization are truly realize its full potential?
it all started a few months ago after participating in various discussions with some of our clients. During these conversations a common theme emerged - - they were all very happy with what they had accomplished using Melio XenApp and XenDesktop in their environments. For some it was allowing high availability and load balancing of their server images and office to protect against unplanned downtime and improve overall performance. For others, it was reduced the amount of resources in time, effort and storage to manage and maintain their images, ultimately reducing the cost of the project. And while it was nice to hear (repeatedly) that Melio has helped achieve many of their objectives, it also became clear to me that they had been severely underutilized unique capabilities and extended Melio , therefore missing on so many really cool things that they could have been doing all along - -. things that allow them to achieve much more than they originally expected
So my reasoning that perhaps much, if not most of our customers have yet to take full advantage of all Melio has to offer in order to further improve their application environments and desktop virtualization.
So, for all Citrix customers worldwide who have used (or considering using) Melio to allow Provisioning Services (PVS) HA, simplify image management and reduce the need for storage capacity, I would like to present a brief list of some of the other awesome things you could achieve now with your Melio software:
- High availability of your Citrix databases (configuration, surveillance, PVS, etc.) without the costs or complexities of SQL Clustering, SQL mirroring or SQL Replication
- Improved virtual desktop performance to ensure your users a rich desktop experience
- protection reliable image via instant time point
- improved fault tolerance storage via RAID1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60
- increased agility through storage / live data migration
- performance assurance for PVS streaming via QoS
- scale infrastructure transparently via dynamic volume expansion and the ability to add more servers without downtime
- storage resource utilization improvement via intelligent data placement mixed (hybrid) storage environments (ie SSD, flash, hard drive)
- multi-site DR
You see, over the past 18 months Melio has experienced a dramatic transformation, culminating with the release of Melio5 - a rich platform for data acceleration comprehensive features that not only improves the way organizations manage and protect their critical business applications, but also offering them the possibility of unknown storage economics before in the enterprise arena.
for example, using Melio5, XenApp and XenDesktop customers can build their own storage systems consisting of servers commodity and storage hardware with Melio providing comprehensive storage management capabilities typically found in high-end storage arrays, only low cost and no vendor lock-in. They choose the high performance storage (SSD, Flash), large storage capacity (SATA, SAS), or a combination, Melio5 provides high availability, maximum performance, and dynamic scaling for XenApp and Desktop deployments, regardless size.
Combine this ability "build-your-own" single storage system with the inherent scale-out of Melio5 (up to 2,048 servers and 65,000 storage devices) and users have the ability to create scale-out storage infrastructure to support the application and desktop virtualization environments that lead to hundreds of servers and thousands of workstations!
If you have not visited the website of Sanbolic (www.sanbolic.com) lately, I encourage you to take a moment to browse our pages doing so, you will learn how Melio is:.
- Improved application performance and enabling application availability and scale using the most cost-effective means available in the market today
- Simplifying and iT administrators to manage and protect critical data of their organizations
- Enabling storage scale-out architectures that use the server-side storage to reduce iT footprints and lower (or eliminate) the costs associated with purchasing, managing, operating and maintaining external networks (SAN) storage
whether a new or Citrix / Sanbolic existing customer, it's time you started taking advantage of all the things of value-production, you could do with your Melio software! Once you do, you will understand exactly what we mean when we say Melio is so much more than shared storage.
