The Astute Networks ViSX G3 solutions lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for virtualized environments by reducing the costs of delivering performance to many virtual machines simultaneously. Complete ViSX G3 solutions start under $30,000 and each supports 64 host servers and their virtual machines. As a result, ViSX G3 solutions are essential for server virtualization, desktop virtualization and cloud computing since they are the first to make the use of flash feasible for every virtual machine.
ViSX G3 solutions eliminate the need to replace or upgrade existing virtualized disk storage and over-provision virtualized storage capacity to increase performance. Since each ViSX G3 solution delivers the performance of hundreds of disks, just one can save millions of dollars of spending that would otherwise be required to purchase hundreds of enterprise disk drives and the additional infrastructure needed to support them.
Organizations have limited data center space, power and cooling available and face rising costs for operating and managing IT infrastructure. Yet, a disk-based storage system delivering the performance of a single ViSX G3 solution would require multiple racks or floor tiles of space and would consume tens of thousands of watts of power. Each ViSX G3 solution requires just three units (3U) of rack space and less than 300 watts of power resulting in ViSX G3 solutions paying for themselves through operational savings alone.
