The in-memory metadata architecture in Dell XtremIO was helpful for my data reduction efficiency. I did use the inline data deduplication feature and compression. The inline data deduplication feature and compression were useful for me because the performance was very good when I needed to read or write from storage, latency was reduced, storage was extended, and volume replication was supported. It helped us to increase the latency performance of the application and the database application. I saw benefits from the snapshot capability. The snapshot capability was helpful for me as it helped me to restore from snapshot, and the snapshot was very fast and worked extremely fine. I did not see any negative impact on enterprise applications with Dell XtremIO related to sub-millisecond response times; the performance was very good and without latency. There were also a lot of volumes, a lot of LUNs, and a lot of capacity with no performance issues.
