The Challenge

To further enhance the user experience and incorporate new technologies, 17Life is planning a website update. To ensure a seamless launch and operation of the new website, it is necessary to conduct simulations and testing on a staging platform before the update. Considering the outstanding results of the XCubeSAN series as reviewed on StorageReview, after careful evaluation, we have decided to purchase the XS3216D to serve as our storage solution for hosting the website's database during testing.

The Solution

In our testing environment, the XS3216D has proven to be an invaluable storage solution, offering not only large storage capacity but also impressive throughput. It enables multiple servers in our environment to access data simultaneously without experiencing any latency issues. Given the substantial data traffic our website experiences, the applications we run in our environment, such as message queues and user acceptance testing, have all benefited from the rapid storage capabilities of the XS3216D. Additionally, the XS3216D serves as our primary data backup solution in our production environment.
