Challenges

Fan data drives core San Diego Padres applications, making fast access critical. As the organization and its fan base grew, performance suffered under heavy database use and complaints increased. The IT team traced the problem to resource contention, which could not be resolved with the legacy SATA-based storage system—not even by augmenting it with flash memory.

“FlashStack has transformed the way we interact with our fans.”

Ray Chan

Vice President, Information Technology, San Diego Padres

Results

The San Diego Padres sales staff have unimpeded access to fan data, ending their rivalry with operations over resources. The operations team can run intensive workloads at any time and business intelligence teams can do more complex analyses. Backups run four times faster and day-to-day storage management consumes less time.
