Challenges

Reaction time is one of the most important requirementsSpam/Phishing/Virus/Botnets constantly looking for ways around

Cloudmark’s filtering, requiring extremely fast response time to new threats (seconds, not minutes)

Rapid business and data growth constantly ate up extra performance gained from hardware upgrades and expansion

Data growth and performance requirement meantRepeated investments into storage arraysIncreased rack-space and floor spaceIncreased operational costs

Continual need for technical talent to tune MySQL-based applications (IE, tune the queries)

Architecture Transformed

BeforeSJC Master: 22U (DL580 G5 + Clariion CX700)SJC: 8U (DL580 G5 + 2x HP MSA70’s)NJ: 6U (DL380 G5 + 2x HP MSA70’s)SFO2: 12U (DL380/360 G5 + 2x HP MSA70’s/2x HP MSA50’s)Total: 48U

AfterSJC Master: 8U (-10 drives, DL580 G5 + 2x HP MSA70’s)SJC: 4U (-50 drives, DL580 G5 + 2x 160GB FIO)NJ: 2U (-50 drives, DL380 G5 + 2x 160GB FIO)SFO2: 3U (-70 drives, DL380/360 G5 + 2x 160GB FIO/ea)Total: 17U (-180 drives)

31U of Rack space reclaimed and 180 points of failure (drives) eliminated

Architecture Transformed

Current (With growth)SJC Master: 8U (DL580 G5 + 2x HP MSA70’s)SJC: 9U (DL580 G5, 2x DL380 G5, DL360 G5 + 2x 160GB FIO/ea)NJ: 4U (2x DL380 G5 + 2x 160GB FIO/ea)SFO2: 1U (1x DL360 G5 + 2x 160GB FIO/ea)Total: 22U (more space used, but far more performance and system redundancy)

Growth is supported without any loss in performance

Cloudmark wins

Off the chart performance improvement5x improvement in replication performance5x improvement in data analysis performance

Dramatic Foot-print reduction31U of rack-space recovered180 points of failure (drives) eliminated from the architectureGreatly reduced power and cooling expenses

A double-edged sword that cuts the bottleneck from both sidesGain PerformanceReduce Operational costs
