Purpose-built performance for virtualizing data-intensive applications

Unparalleled Low Latency Performance for Virtualizing Data-Intensive Applications

Uses flash as a cache to satisfy I/O for virtualized applications in the server eliminating the latency associated with traversing the network to satisfy I/O from NAS or SAN. Performance can be targeted on a per VM basis, per file, volume or disk ensuring that performance is consistently delivered to virtualized applications that need it.

Supports vMotion to preserve IT Infrastructure Agility

With ioCache there is no need to sacrifice performance in your VMware environment in order to maintain agility. ioCache supports vMotion so you can move VMs at will. The ioTurbine software dynamically allocates the cache as VMs come and go so all VMs benefit from the use of cache. Conversely, any portion of the cache may be set to a specific VM to guarantee performance, regardless of VMs being vMotioned from host to host.

Transparent Operation with Existing Infrastructure

The ioTurbine caching software runs in the background as a component in the hypervisor and in the guest operating system. By tightly coupling with the file system I/O routines in the guest OS, I/O patterns are transparently redirected so flash storage is shared across all hosted VMs. No configuration changes are needed in the guest OS, host, storage or networking equipment.

Increase VM Density and Further Consolidate Servers

Satisfying IOPS from flash enables more VMs per server further driving consolidation and ROI.

Reduce Spindle Count and Increase Performance and Efficiency of Storage Assets

Satisfying IOPS from flash offloads primary storage. Primary storage no longer has to process the volume of Read I/O freeing it up to process Write I/O faster and more efficiently. And because flash is better suited for satisfying performance requirements in virtualized environments, disk can be utilized for capacity rather than performance.
