Ethernet switches and NICs. A key benefit
of NVMesh was the flexibility to choose the
most suitable and cost-effective commodity
hardware for Bezeq’s requirements,
eliminating vendor lock-in.

Early trials showed that in contrast to the
maximum 8 Gbps throughput of the Fusion
IO devices, the NVMesh environment
delivered 16–23 Gbps, well above Bezeq’s
requested 15 Gbps throughput.
The Excelero storage also reduced run
times by an average of 30% compared
to the legacy all-flash array environment
and, in some workloads, reduced run times
by up to 90%.
Replacement was simple and while formal
metrics weren’t established, Bezeq’s IT team
detected reduced CPU demand, helping it
squeeze maximum compute power from
existing resources.
“The winners in the new telecoms landscape
will be those forward-thinking organisations
that are most effective in extracting
information from their data,” said Lior Gal,
Excelero Co-founder and CEO.
“We are extremely proud that Excelero’s
NVMesh is exceeding the requirements of
Bezeq’s data warehouse and enabling the
company to run its day-to-day operations
with an important competitive edge.”
