The VS-fusion: delivers amazing performance and also breathes new life into existing SANs and arrays:-

New generation solid state technology offers tremendous performance for high demand applications, but its limited capacity presents the challenge of determining how best to allocate the resource and how to identify and migrate the most appropriate data to populate it.

Performance: With performance scaling beyond 1 million IOPS, the VS-fusion appliance boosts even the most IO hungry applications and virtualised infrastructures to a whole new sphere.

Cost: Solid state resources are expensive, so gaining the maximum benefit is important. Standard arrays can be restrictive and PCIe based SSDs limit one resource per server, which is both expensive and highly inefficient. The VS-fusion addresses this in two ways:-

1. Flexibility:  Powerful virtualisation tools allow valuable solid state resources to be easily shared by many servers throughout your entire network, spreading the benefit and the cost.

2. Innovation: By simultaneously acting as a front-end solid state cache to existing hard disk arrays, slower high capacity SATA and fibre drive SAN storage can be accelerated to SSD level performance.

Simply boot: Everything needed to convert a standard server into a mega-IOPS storage appliance.

Share the performance: The VS-fusion simply integrates within a SAN, seamlessly delivering solid state performance to an entire network.  Its resource can be easily portioned and shared amongst many servers and applications; whether small amounts of temporary database space required for a SQL server, or larger capacity for high performance financial modelling.

Using the power: Within a typical SAN, only a portion of the overall storage is being aggressively accessed, By utilising solid state resource as a large capacity cache to front existing arrays, the VS-fusion captures these ‘hot-spots’ of activity and serves them from cache at SSD level performance.  And of course this cache is not susceptible to power loss!  Within minutes of being plugged in, the SAN will simply start accelerating.

Saving money: The VS-fusion provides compelling cost savings compared to alternative solutions, from the basic price-performance to its ability to accelerate HDD based array SSD level performance.
