NEWARK, Calif., June 10, 2014 -- Tegile Systems,
the leading provider of flash-driven storage arrays for databases,
virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today announced
that Mizuno USA, a manufacturer of
premium, high-performance sporting goods, including select equipment,
apparel, and footwear, has implemented Tegile's hybrid storage
architecture to manage and protect its information assets.
Mizuno USA, the Atlanta
area-based subsidiary of Mizuno Corporation Inc., is a global leader in
sporting goods industry. In the Americas region, the brand focuses on
multiple sports categories, including running, baseball, softball,
volleyball, soccer and golf.
Building a strong business with
year-over-year growth for the past decade, Mizuno USA
was challenged to find a storage system that could address data growth,
included multi-protocol flexibility, and support business continuity
across two data centers.
Before selecting Tegile hybrid arrays with their IntelliFlash™ architecture, Mizuno USA
evaluated other storage systems that appeared to make sense from a
price and performance perspective. However, these alternatives required
added cost and complexity when including multi-protocol capabilities.
Tegile's hybrid approach provides flash memory to accelerate performance
for heavy transaction workloads and seasonal business spikes, while
large-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) effectively accommodate a growing
amount of large product image files and historical content currently
maintained online.
"Tegile provides us the perfect storage platform to address these collaborative applications," said Keith Neely, VP of Customer Support and IT, Mizuno USA.
"As we evaluated our options for a next-generation storage system, the
Tegile IntelliFlash architecture really impressed us with its
intelligence to automate storage management tasks and provide a hybrid
storage solution for accelerated performance and capacity scalability."
Tegile's
system also delivered data protection that goes the distance, with
deduplication and compression to conserve storage capacity and achieve
faster transfers to a remote site, generating additional savings from
reduced network bandwidth requirements.
Prior to the Tegile
implementation, full backups had grown beyond the backup window, but now
Mizuno USA is able to execute full
backups once a month, synthetic backups on weekends, and incremental
backups every night – which complete in less than an hour on the arrays.
As the Mizuno USA IT team prepares to
transition to a new data center in late 2014, Tegile's efficient SAN
replication will be used to test target devices and selectively move
data sets and volumes.
"Our
backup and deduplication efficiencies keep improving over time, and we
can tell each volume what kind of compression to use for even greater
capacity optimization," said Neely. "Tegile provides us the network
connection flexibility to run multiple file system protocols and
multiple SAN protocols for a true future-proof storage solution. This
has real business value for Mizuno USA as we can now use the same storage longer without upgrades or replacement for an attractive ROI."
"Mizuno USA
has been a pleasure to work with and, like all Tegile customers, are
truly the best evangelists for our new generation of flash-based hybrid
storage arrays," said Rob Commins,
vice president of marketing at Tegile. "A small Technical Services
staff manages all servers, workstations, storage, networks and
applications across three data centers in this fast, growing company, so
we're thrilled Tegile arrays delivered the best possible efficiency,
reliability, automation and performance on the market."
