April 28, 2015 - Kaminario, the leading all-flash array storage provider for midrange enterprises, today announced that Excellence Nessuah has selected Kaminario’s K2 all-flash array for its internal Citrix-based XenDesktop VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environment and additional environments. Excellence Nessuah, one of the largest and leading investment houses, will rely on Kaminario to power its XenDesktop VDI platform, bringing efficient scalability and easier manageability of its business operations as well as increased access for hundreds of additional users.

The investment house required an instantly deployable storage solution capable of handling and supplying high levels of service and resiliency for its internal Citrix XenDesktop environment, without reducing response time or performance degradation. It selected Kaminario’s K2 for its scalability, flexibility and quick response times. Additionally, K2 enables Excellence Nessuah to maintain consistent performance with variable loads, gives the organization freedom to increase the number of users with non-disruptive service and reduces costs while allowing the company to scale. K2 also helps Excellence Nessuah simplify management of larger data capacities by including data reduction features.

“We chose Kaminario’s storage solution for our Citrix VDI environment because we needed an all-flash solution with a modern architecture and competitive costs that rival those of traditional storage solutions,” said Zhaki Kaner, CTO, Excellence Nessuah. “The K2 system’s advanced data reduction capabilities and stellar performance has allowed us to expand the use of the solution beyond the VDI environment to other environments in the organization.”

“Kaminario’s storage solution allows our customers to enjoy an all-flash storage product at competitive costs and manageable scalability,” said Ron Davidi, Regional Director at Kaminario. “Excellence Nessuah joins our many other customers who chose the Kaminario solution to enjoy the benefits of a flexible storage system that works in VDI environments and beyond.”

VDI customers are faced with storage challenges throughout the lifecycle from pilot deployment to rollout. Designed to handle even the most complex VDI environments, K2 can alleviate these concerns for VDI users by delivering consistent and predictable performance, cost efficiency, resiliency & scalability, and ease of deployment & management.

“VDI environments require storage systems that are cost efficient and maintain high resiliency and scalability,” said Aimee Catalano, Vice President of Alliance Marketing at Citrix. “K2 has been verified as Citrix Ready for XenDesktop, which ensures its all-flash array meets the storage needs of Citrix XenDesktop customers, enabling them to reliably deploy a fully modern IT architecture.”
