Reduxio and MR2 Solutions Help VCA Consultants Improve Storage Performance and Reduce Costs

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 10, 2016) - VCA Consultants, a distinguished engineering firm that provides structural engineering design and consulting services for residential and commercial real estate projects throughout California, has selected Reduxio Systems' storage and data protection solutions to modernize its IT Infrastructure. VCA Consultants selected Reduxio's technology through reseller channel partner MR2 Solutions and will be using Reduxio's groundbreaking enterprise hybrid storage array to help the firm simplify and streamline its IT environment in order to react to cyclical market forces and business demands and increase productivity.

California's residential and commercial real estate market continues to thrive, as prices remain at near peak levels, with limited inventory and low-interest rates playing in its favor, according to the California Realtor Association. To address these market demands, VCA Consultants uses Building Information Models (BIM) and 3D Modeling projects and has pioneered the use of AutoCAD® REVIT® in structural design. As the design software applications that VCA uses require significant amounts of storage capacity and put a lot of performance demand on storage, it turned to Reduxio to help innovate its IT infrastructure.

"VCA is known for leading edge solutions to enable architects and developers to build more creatively and cost effectively," said David Briski, IT manager at VCA Consultants. "We are always exploring ways to enhance the performance of our IT infrastructure to better serve our clients. Reduxio's technology allows VCA to offer its clients the latest advances in 3-D modeling and provide stable and reliable professional services while improving productivity, continuously protecting its data from losses, automating backup and recovery and containing costs."

To improve performance, Reduxio's HX550 storage was installed and configured for VMware ESXi 6. Virtual servers and desktops were migrated from a previous spinning disk system to Reduxio's flash storage solution with in-line, in-memory de-duplication and compression. Reduxio's BackDating solution allows fine-grain recovery of virtual machines and databases to protect VCA from data loss in the event of an outage or a malware attack.
