Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, today announced that NOVOMATIC Italia, which develops and markets gaming products, has successfully upgraded its enterprise storage infrastructure with the state-of-the-art Infinidat solution.
The Italian gaming giant has changed its legacy storage products to modernize its storage capabilities with Infinidat innovation designed to improve performance, simplify storage management, reduce costs, incorporate autonomous automation and achieve a better service and support. InfiniBox's unrivaled mix of technical excellence and business value has been a winning combination for this venture.
“With Infinidat, we had the opportunity to implement an excellent on-premise and cloud-like experience, thanks to the extremely user-friendly interface of the InfiniBox solution, the flexibility to grow with Capacity-on-Demand and AI-driven software and machine learning that give us the best performance in our environment,” he said Daniele Rosati, IT System Infrastructure & Architecture Manager at NOVOMATIC. “Furthermore, Infinidat technology guarantees very high reliability. Infinidat exceeded our expectations.”
Before switching to Infinidat, NOVOMATIC Italia was in need of a storage upgrade, dealing with slower performance, complex management, and limited support of its aging implementation from a legacy vendor. NOVOMATIC risked paying too much for service and support if it did not switch suppliers. After an evaluation of the best storage products on the market, this company chose Infinidat as its provider of high-performance cyber resilient storage solutions.
The award-winning InfiniBox platform was installed in mid-2022, with the support of a technical consultant at no additional cost. InfiniBox offers industry-best performance at the lowest latency, along with 100% availability, ease of use, cyber resilience and autonomous automation, available with flexible consumption models. NOVOMATIC immediately saw a notable improvement in the performance of its storage infrastructure after installing the InfiniBox platform. Autonomous automation has eliminated the complexity and optimized both the performance and efficiency of managing a variety of workloads and applications. The Capacity-on-Demand model that Infinidat offers has also provided significant cost savings.
The Infinidat enterprise storage solution reduced latency by 68% for NOVOMATIC, down to just 0,32 ms from 1 ms on its previous storage system. Additionally, Infinidat increased the cache hit ratio to 98,8%, compared to 50% for its previous storage system.
“We wanted to partner with a world-class storage solution provider that could change our on-premise storage infrastructure by offering innovation, automation and a high level of technical support that would streamline our operations,” added Rosati. “Infinidat was the perfect solution. The ease of use of the Infinidat storage solution is exceptional and we no longer have latency issues after installing InfiniBox.”
Steve Sullivan, CRO of Infinidat, said: “For companies looking to perform a storage upgrade, consolidate storage or upgrade its storage capabilities while reducing costs, Infinidat offers powerful, automated solutions designed to unlock new levels of value , flexibility and integrated support for enterprise storage. NOVOMATIC Italia's criteria are similar to those of many companies that need to reduce the complexity and costs of their storage infrastructure. Now recognized as one of the best enterprise storage arrays in the world, our InfiniBox solution has enabled this Italian gaming company to achieve its goals.”
As part of its expansive ecosystem, Infinidat has also met NOVOMATIC's requirements for interoperability with Hyper V, as well as compatibility between InfiniBox and Cisco UCS servers. This support has helped create smoother operation between its storage capabilities and other important parts of its IT infrastructure. Looking ahead, as data increases, NOVOMATIC plans to consider Infinidat for future expansion, particularly for increased capacity.
