“We consider ViSX OS v5 a quantum leap from a niche playing flash array to a major contender in the storage business. This is because the move from a block-only device to a fully featured file server with NSFv4, coupled with an aggressive OpenStack strategy and the inherent network efficiency of the ViSX DataPump architecture creates a highly desirable feature set, particularly for the mid-market at a value price,” said Jim Bagley, senior analyst, SSG-NOW.“
The patented DataPump Engine™ in each ViSX appliance makes that performance possible by offloading and accelerating network (TCP) and storage (iSCSI, NFS) protocol processing, while leveraging ViSX’s Networked Flash architecture. ViSX Performance Storage Appliances now also bring support of NAS deployments with a full-featured implementation of NFS v2 and v3, as well as the more recent NFS v4.
Ideal for virtual environments, as well as physical infrastructure, ViSX appliances streamline virtual implementation and management through a VMware vCenter plug-in tab for vSphere environments. Users can also choose to use the built-in FlashWRX™ web-based management interface with any other hypervisor platform including Hyper-V, Xen and RHEV, as well as any physical environment.
ViSX plugs into the existing 1GbE or 10GbE infrastructure, and within minutes can improve application response times - by up to 10X - without the often complex and disruptive deployments required by other solutions. Instead, ViSX complements existing investments in storage, often freeing up capacity for other uses and eliminating the need for new purchases for enhanced ROI.
In VDI deployments, ViSX continues to offer the industry’s lowest cost per VDI user, delivering not only reduced cost but also dramatically improved application responsiveness and performance. For critical applications such as SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and SharePoint , ViSX delivers an immediate performance boost of 5 to 10 times, depending on the existing physical or virtual infrastructure. ViSX can also be used to accelerate access to data in non-relation, object based data stores.
ViSX also delivers competitive advantages for cloud service providers with support for OpenStack, the open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. With OpenStack, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are enabled to offer their infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offerings to performance-constrained environments to enhance user productivity and lower IT costs.
“To enable their businesses to become more agile and responsive while making users more productive, IT professionals are facing the challenge to assure high application performance and availability while reducing overall IT costs and resource requirements,” said Jeff Whitney, vice president of marketing, Astute. “That is precisely the focus of the newest release of the ViSX OS. It delivers outstanding all-flash performance while co-existing with installed storage for both physical and virtual environments. As a result, organizations achieve faster, consistent and predictable application performance while achieving a rapid ROI.”
The ViSX Performance Storage Appliance is now available in a range of capacities up to 45.6TB in a single 2U platform, and add-on flash modules are available in sizes of 480GB, 960GB and 1900GB.
