World's Leading Risk Consulting Company Deploys Xsigo

Kroll Factual Data has deployed two Xsigo VP780 I/O Directors in its virtualised data centre to deal with the large number of transactions between servers caused by key business applications. The solution cost 50% less than a 10GbE equivalent saving Kroll $15,000 per blade chassis. It also increased the server throughput by 50% and registered a six-fold increase in bandwidth in each server.

Bruce Fingles, Xsigo's vice president of product management and alliances, explained that Kroll’s problem wasn’t unique: "Kroll Factual Data faced a business challenge that's becoming increasingly common in virtualized data centers: how to ensure predictable application performance when data must traverse complex network paths."

Kroll Factual Data registered a massive increase in performance once the Xsigo solution had been installed with time taken to solve I/O contention issues dropping from days to hours.
