ScaleIO helps Itrica expand technology solutions | #emcworld
by Heather Johnson | May 9, 2015
Quincy, Massachusetts-based Itrica Corp. expanded from software development, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, into infrastructure solutions. When the company wanted a more hybrid-performance storage solution, it turned to EMC’s ScaleIO.
“Traditionally our company has offered high-performance storage solutions based on legacy flash technology,” said Itrica Corporation EVP and CTO David Sampson in an interview with theCUBE during EMC World 2015. “We were locked into specific networking platforms, into single node solutions, and they created some challenges. We wanted a solution that would give us hybrid performance with multi node redundancy. Software design was the way to go. We landed with ScaleIO around the end of 2013.”
Building and managing server stacks to customer needs
Itrica uses outsourced data centers in Las Vegas, Miami and Boston. “We go to the people that are the best in the industry for data centers,” Sampson said. “We implement the servers, we build out those server stacks and we manage those server stacks to the customer needs.”
Sampson said the company plans to move its Tier 1 workloads to ScaleIO-based platforms. “We see it as the ultimate storage platform,” he said. “From a hardware perspective, we’re saving about 50 percent of our cost of storage, which is very exciting.”
Sampson plans to keep an eye on VMware, Inc.’s VSAN and VCE Company, LLC’s VxRack. “Seeing scale is also very exciting for us,” he said. “I have no doubt that when the VXRack starts shipping, it’s going to be heavily embraced by the marketplace.”
