The Israel Electric Company Adopts Kaminario to Accelerate ERP System Processes by up to 10 Times
Post on: 2011-11-02 By: admin
NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Israel Electric Company (IEC) announced today that it chose
Kaminario, a leading supplier of all solid-state SAN storage systems, to
provide the Kaminario K2 system for accelerating the response time
performance of its central SAP ERP system processes by up to 10 times.
“These improvements were
achieved with Kaminario's solution operating alongside the existing
storage array, without replacing a thing in the infrastructure array.”
The Electric Company's SAP ERP system serves thousands of users
throughout the country and performs dozens of processes, transactions
and batch processes. Tens of thousands of transactions are executed in
SAP each month. Following complaints regarding slow transaction
execution times, the company decided to implement the Kaminario K2
system to accelerate its SAP ERP environment.
As a result, there has been an average of 25 times improvement in all
tested transactions, with most of the organization's critical ERP
processes accelerated by up to 10 times. The average processing time of
SAP's transactions decreased from 600 milliseconds to 400 milliseconds,
database processing time was accelerated from 300 milliseconds to 150
milliseconds or less, and the I/O wait time decreased to almost zero,
which caused a 700 percent improvement in latency times in the
Oracle-based database. In addition, an improvement was achieved in two
important ERP array measurements: average response times for DB Request
Time and Dialog Step (in the Electric Company, there are about half a
million Dialog Steps every day, not including batch) were improved
significantly and now take half of the maximal time required by SAP's
The Kaminario K2 solution, deployed by IEC, is an enterprise-grade all
solid-state SAN storage system allowing for very fast access to
information as compared to standard disk storage systems.
"These are significant improvements and considerable time savings," said
Yosi Shneck, CIO, Israeli Electric Company. "These improvements were
achieved with Kaminario's solution operating alongside the existing
storage array, without replacing a thing in the infrastructure array."
Schneck continued, "If we multiply tens of thousands of transactions and
thousands of users in the company, Kaminario helped us save enormous
amounts of time and eliminated unnecessary pressures. Besides the
significant speed and response time improvements, we have accomplished
additional goals: the system is stable, there are no bottlenecks and
there is no need for trying to improve and better the performances."
"Kaminario, with its K2 device, succeeds in accelerating these processes
because it succeeded in developing a simple and available technology
that overrides the need to work with hard disk drives, which
considerably slow down I/O operations. Combining solid-state technology
with standard hardware and an innovative operating system makes
Kaminario's solution the fastest in the market," stated Oded Nonberg,
responsible for IEC's SAP infrastructures.
Founded by storage experts from EMC, NetApp and IBM, Kaminario
is leading the SSD revolution in high performance SAN storage. The
Kaminario K2 family of all solid-state SAN storage eliminates I/O
bottlenecks and dramatically reduces latency to accelerate critical
business applications at a significantly lower cost and smaller
footprint than legacy SAN storage. The Kaminario K2 is the first
enterprise grade SAN storage built from the ground up to take full
advantage of modern SSD performance. With built in self-healing high
availability, a modular scale-out architecture, open X86 components and
media freedom of choice, the K2 consistently delivers ultra-low latency,
tens of GB/s of throughput, and millions of IOPS. Kaminario is a
fundamentally new and better way to store and retrieve performance
sensitive data. Kaminario is simply faster.
Located in Newton, Mass., Kaminario has built a global network of
business partners, including Dell Inc., which resells the K2 all
solid-state SAN storage. For more information, visit www.kaminario.com.
