Replacing a high-end all-flash array with
the simplicity and scale of an architecture
using Excelero NVMesh along with
Fujitsu servers and Mellanox 100 Gbps
Ethernet switches, Bezeq has achieved a
2x–3x throughput improvement and cut
database run times by up to 90%.
As NVMe SSDs overtook traditional Flash
SSD sales in 2019, they are expected to
grow into a US$9 billion market by 2022,
up from just US$2 billion in 2017 (G2M
Research, December 2018).
Bezeq’s results with Excelero, a disruptor
in software-defined block storage,
typify the advantages that NVMe over
fabrics architectures deliver in superior
throughput, ultra-low latency, scalability
and flexibility.
Bezeq offers phone and Internet services,
smart devices, cybersecurity and cloud
backup services.
Its data warehouse holds more than
118 TB of vital data on sales, services,
financial transactions, engineering device
and customer interactions – data used to
generate reports that help management
streamline operations.
The data warehouse is also supporting
an expansion into promising new lines
of business such as high-performance
