And even with a significant financial investment, we were probably going to end up with just modest performance improvements." "With this approach, we knew the additional costs were going to be significant because our legacy 1GbE storage fabric also needed to be upgraded to support the increased traffic. "Our initial plan was to invest in more spindles, faster spindles, or some hybrid flash/spinning disk solution built into an array," said Pete Koehler, Tecplot's IT manager and virtualization architect. This also impacted other business critical systems that ran off of the shared storage system. While this provided a significant benefit to the software development team, the performance bottleneck shifted to the storage infrastructure. In early 2013, Tecplot invested in additional compute resources for their infrastructure to support virtualized build systems and faster code compiling.

SAN JOSE, CA-(Marketwired - Oct 15, 2013) - PernixData, the leader in virtualizing server flash, today announced that Tecplot, a leading provider of data visualization and analysis software, has successfully leveraged PernixData FVP™ to improve overall storage performance and support a growing virtualized environment.
