  • Our Approach

    EMC Client Executive, Joe Osborne, Digital Business Lead, Josh Howell, and DM, Nathan Thomas, worked with EagleView’s Chris Pershing, CIO, Frank Giuffrida, Chief of Engineering, Dave Kinsman, VP of Engineering, and George Lax, IT Manager to determine the best solution to meet the company’s needs.

    EagleView chose EMC Isilon NL-series scale-out storage and a VCE Vblock 300 series converged architecture, which included EMC XtremIO all-flash storage. Isilon houses petabytes of aerial images captured by the company and the Vblock is used for application development, testing, and production deployment.

    • “One of the advantages of having both vBlock and Isilon is that we can use Isilon for deep storage of our really large datasets. Yet on the vBlock we have the flexibility to run very high performance applications but also to have very tight integration with the data store on the backend.”

  • Outcomes

    Performance enables competitive advantage

    Isilon and Vblock provide EagleView with improved performance against a backdrop of explosive data growth. Even as the number of aerial flights increases and file sizes soar, latency is now a thing of the past. Faster response times mean increased customer satisfaction and competitive advantage.

    Increased scalability handles data growth

    With Isilon, EagleView no longer worries about handling explosive data growth. If the company needs an additional petabyte of storage, it simply buys additional nodes. Expanding Isilon is non-disruptive—simply plug in additional nodes and turn them on. 

    Positioned company for future growth

    Vblock will enable Vollrath to continue to handle growth and position it to create new databases, data warehouses, and data lakes, which the company can mine for strategic information. As a result, the company can gain more from its existing and future data.
