Server virtualization is a necessity in cloud environments. However like other virtualized environments, cloud computing environments need more storage performance than their host machines can deliver. They need performance delivered to VMs as needed in a flexible, easy-to-provision way. Adding disk limits performance to hardware constraints of a single server. SAN flash products are tied to legacy architectures and restrict flash performance. Internal PCI and DAS flash products lock flash to a single server and restrict virtualization. In contrast, ViSX G3 is a simple, cost-effective, VMware-certified solution that simply connects to existing infrastructure via a standard Ethernet port and lets IT managers add performance to a virtual environment where they need it.
The Astute Networks ViSX G3â„¢ delivers the performance you need for efficient cloud computing. It simply plugs into your existing infrastructure via a standard Ethernet port and connects via 1G/10G Ethernet accessed via iSCSI. Patented DataPumpâ„¢ Engine processor technology instantly adds 80,000 IOPS. It accelerates network traffic (TCP/IP), virtualized data store traffic (iSCSI), flash performance, and RAID protection, with sustained 100 percent random I/O.
