National Mortgage Lender Eliminates Sluggish MS-SQL Applications with V-locity I/O Reduction Software

Users complained of sluggish MS-SQL performance and expensive upgrades were not an option.

Loan officers were complaining about sluggish performance of the most important application in the business: a loan origination system sitting on top of MS-SQL. Despite being supported by new Nimble hybrid storage arrays, Supreme Lending didn’t want to throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at new all-flash arrays to get better performance.

Since V-locity I/O reduction software is free to evaluate, it was a “no brainer”...to try the software on their most troublesome MS-SQL systems and see what it could do.

“We examined a couple server-side caching players including Pernix Data and Infinio, but since Condusiv’s V-locity does so much more than server-side caching, its proof of concept came out the clear winner on both performance and price. And we didn’t have to add any additional hardware, since we already had a good amount of DRAM,” said Chuck Keith, Director of Infrastructure, Supreme Lending.

“Right off the bat, MS-SQL reporting that used to take five to ten minutes dropped to 30 seconds with V-locity, and all user complaints about sluggishness disappeared. We couldn’t believe it,” said Keith.

“With V-locity I/O reduction software on our servers and Nimble storage for our backend, we feel we are getting best of breed performance at lowest possible cost.”
