Violin Memory's All Flash Arrays Popular in Turkey

Violin Memory®, Inc. (NYSE:VMEM), a pioneer of all-flash storage platform solutions for primary storage and active workloads, has reported that its All Flash Arrays (AFAs) were adopted at an unprecedented pace in the Turkish marketplace in 2015.
According to the press release:

With robust IT spending and accelerating implementations of transformational technologies across the country, the rapid growth appears likely to continue into 2016.
Violin reseller Tara Sistem experienced this rapid growth first hand, benefiting from a 10-fold increase in the sales of Violin All-Flash products in 2015, compared to the previous year.
“This growth was fuelled, in part, by the successful sale and integration of Violin All-Flash Arrays into several major national companies, including government-owned Halkbank; Migros, the second-largest retailer in Turkey; and Turkish Airlines, the sixth-largest airline in Europe. What’s more, Acibadem Hospitals Group, one of the largest healthcare organizations in the country, is also using Violin for its core application,” said Aybars Gumus, general manager at Tara Sistem. “Turkish companies clearly see the benefits of going all-flash. Tara Sistem customers have seen Oracle database performance improvements of more than 60 percent after implementing Violin AFAs. Depending on application and data type, the performance increases brought about by the integration of Violin All-Flash Arrays in the Turkish market have reached as much as 600 percent.”
The upsurge of Violin AFAs in Turkey is largely attributed to rapidly evolving storage performance requirements, which have rendered many legacy storage architectures inadequate or obsolete. As a result, leading financial, retail and transportation organizations are increasingly turning to AFAs to address their growing data challenges.
