PernixData FVP software virtualizes all server side flash into a clustered acceleration tier that enables IT administrators to quickly, easily and cost-effectively scale out storage performance completely independent of storage capacity. The result is unprecedented read and write performance for all virtual machines (VMs), without the need to change existing server and storage infrastructure. With flash storage virtualization, PernixData fundamentally changes how storage is designed and operated in virtual data centers.
Key excerpts from the InfoWorld review include:
: PernixData FVP “greatly improves both read and write performance of virtual machines stored on a SAN (Fibre Channel, FCoE, or iSCSI).”
“There are no changes to the VMs or to the underlying host datastores, and PernixData FVP is transparent to both the VMs and the SAN.” “Because the flash cluster is shared among hosts, PernixData FVP fully supports VMware services such as vMotion, DRS, and HA.”
“By consolidating server-side flash into a single shared flash cluster, PernixData FVP leverages many small flash investments into a large I/O improvement.”
“Installation is quick and easy, and it doesn-t even require a reboot of the hosts.”
“there really isn-t a scenario where its distributed flash cache doesn-t make sense to improve VM and SAN performance.”
The review concludes, “PernixData FVP is a great product for any VMware server farm bogged down by SAN bottlenecks.”
