Doing More with Less
A large scale Software-as-Service (SaaS) provider was facing increasing demand for larger and more highly available databases. They needed a storage solution that achieves high performance, high availability, efficiency, scalability, and is easily managed, so that their services will always be available to provide the best user experience.
