Violin Memory has revealed details of the successful deployment of a new Violin 7300 flash storage platform (FSP) in the data centre of the San Francisco 49ers.


“As business needs grow, and the value of data increases, organisations everywhere are experiencing explosive data growth,” said Amy Love, CMO at Violin Memory. “The San Francisco 49ers are a progressive organisation. They see the value of optimising and protecting digital assets as they strive to meet business objectives and to deliver the best possible fan experiences. Violin’s 7300 FSP meets the 49ers high availability, reliability, and performance requirements while providing a complete suite of data protection features.”

“The Violin 7300 FSP is helping us consolidate from two at-capacity Violin 6232 all-flash arrays to a single flash storage platform,” said Ethan Casson, chief revenue officer for the San Francisco 49ers. “It gives us faster, more reliable access to the data we need to run the business operations and provide the best possible fan experience.”

Violin professional services handled the installation and is managing the data migration.

The Violin Memory 7300 FSP is installed in the team’s data centre at Levi’s Stadium, one of the most technologically advanced sports facilities in the world.

“We built Levi’s Stadium on three pillars: technology, sustainability and the fan experience, just as Violin has built its FSP on the pillars of availability, reliability and performance, with the most complete set of data protection services available on any flash storage platform today,” Casson said. “We also appreciate the support and guidance we have experienced working with Violin’s professional services team during the deployment of the 7300 FSP.”
