WhipTail Racerunner

Storage performance is the datacenter’s largest operational constraint. Today’s CPU performance exponentially outpaces hard disk drive I/O. Enterprises cannot continue to simply over-provision on legacy HDDs for incremental performance gains.

The Whiptail solution utilises industry standard storage presentation protocols, a proprietary software stack, and the fastest flash-based appliances currently on the market.

Whiptail is designed to drastically reduce disk contention and access times, allowing database or virtualisation servers to process more data in dramatically less time. Internal and independent tests show more than a 95 percent reduction in database report generation and load time compared with traditional magnetic disks.

Inline Primary Data Deduplication

The “Holy Grail” of storage. Redundant data is eliminated on ingress. Especially beneficial in server virtualisation environments where 80-90% of the data is repetitive.

Inline Primary Data Compression

Thanks to their alpha-numeric core, databases are tremendous candidates for compression. Consolidation ratios are commonly seen at 4:1, thus dramatically increasing the amount effective storage available.

Why choose WhipTail Racerunner?

DLX Networks recommends using WhipTail Tech Racerunner for high performance, low latency applications where traditional disk based solutions are to expensive or energy hungry.  With inline deduplication and inline compression it is perfect for high performance databases or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

WhipTail Racerunner will also:
• Deliver data up to 10X faster
• Reduce capital costs by more than 50%
• Cut power costs by 90%, reduce footprint by 60%
