SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 13,
2012/PRNewswire/ -- Fusion-io (NYSE: FIO) today
announced that Host Europe GmbH, a leading
European managed cloud service provider and part of the
Host Europe Group, has deployed Fusion ioMemory
technology in its data centers to dramatically reduce
infrastructure and costs while increasing virtualized
database performance capabilities and extending savings to
customers.
"Fusion ioMemory maintains consistent performance
regardless of database workload fluctuations, even with
massively parallel virtual machines and database
virtualization. This allows us to guarantee high service
levels to all applications, under any load, so we don't
have to scale out excess infrastructure in anticipation of
load spikes that might cause servers to crash or interrupt
application service," said Thomas Ebbers,
Head of Product Management for Host Europe. "Our
Fusion-io solution will help all of Host Europe's
customers, not only for providing a better service
experience, but also because we've even been able to
offer more competitive pricing to our customers since
implementing Fusion-io."
More than one million customers trust the professional
hosting services of the Host Europe Group in
Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, the UK, USAand
Spain. As an application's popularity
increases, the Host Europe infrastructure can experience
rapid spikes in demand. With traditional storage and SSDs
that cannot deliver low application queue depth, the
virtualized system experienced unpredictable workloads that
could not be managed consistently and cost effectively.
Host Europedeployed ioMemory technology to
help eliminate virtualized MySQL database bottlenecks,
reduce server sprawl and efficiently scale to meet demand.
Once Fusion ioMemory was integrated into its servers, Host
Europe realized up to five times more workloads per server
on a customer's popular massively multiplayer online
social game. The Fusion-io platform enabled Host Europe to
virtualize multiple databases, resulting in a 30 percent
reduction in overall hardware requirements.
"Emerging trends like cloud computing and
virtualization require innovative new solutions to be able
to scale with rapid spikes in demand such as with a popular
online game like those delivered by Host Europe," said
Neil Carson, CTO of Fusion-io. "As a game
goes viral, or when many people log on for peak playing
times, traditional systems can be stressed, which forces
companies to sprawl out traditional data centers at high
cost to customers and greater impact on providers'
bottom lines. The innovative team at Host Europe has found
an ideal way to maintain its competitive edge and
commitment to outstanding customer service with
ioMemory."

About Fusion-io
Fusion-io has pioneered a next generation storage memory
platform for shared data decentralization that
significantly improves the processing capabilities within a
datacenter by relocating process-critical, or
"active", data from centralized storage to the
server where it is being processed, a methodology referred
to as data decentralization. Fusion's integrated
hardware and software solutions leverage non-volatile
memory to significantly increase datacenter efficiency and
offers enterprise grade performance, reliability,
availability and manageability. Fusion's data
decentralization platform can transform legacy
architectures into next generation datacenters and allows
enterprises to consolidate or significantly reduce complex
and expensive high performance storage, high performance
networking and memory-rich servers. Fusion's platform
enables enterprises to increase the utilization,
performance and efficiency of their datacenter resources
and extract greater value from their information assets.
