“We got everything up to our colo and racked this weekend. I’ve attached a couple
pictures of the rack it is in. We have more IOPS and capacity from JetStor 826iXD 10G,
than the 8U of EQL DELL sitting beneath it… We absolutely love our new JetStor
826iXD AFA unit!”

Amazing test results for VDI and anything VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V or KVM!
“We’ve got one unit installed and booted. Performance is pretty good, a single host has taken it to 80,000 IOPS while running VDI
(Virtual Desktops for our employees) in testing. Very good performance for roughly 50% of the cost of the solution Dell offered in a
similar configuration.
It was basically plug and play! I had the system up and running with connectivity to VMware about 15 minutes after racking and
stacking it.”
