ViSX G3 Solutions for Database Virtualization

Email. Accounting. CRM. Payroll management. Business Information reporting. Cloud computing. The productivity of thousands of employees – and the efficiency of your enterprise –depends on fast, reliable access to business critical business applications, databases and cloud computing environments.

In a physical server environment, storage access is a mixture of sequential and random IO. But after virtualization, storage access becomes highly random – requiring many more IOPs to maintain the same level of performance.

Until now, there was no simple, cost-effective way to add IOPs performance to VMs to support SAP, Oracle, and SQL databases and business-critical environments such as Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint Server, or to back up or recover virtualized data stores. The result: slow response times, angry end users, frustrated IT staff.

Disk and Traditional Flash Fall Short

To solve this performance bottleneck you may limit the number of VMs per host machine and/or add disk. Limiting VMs per host is a costly strategy that runs counter to the server consolidation promised by virtualization. Adding disk is also costly and inefficient. Adding 80-200 RAID 10 disks only adds 1,000 random IOPS performance.

Storage Area Network (SAN) flash storage systems are tied to legacy architectures and limit flash performance. Internal PCI and external direct attached storage (DAS) flash storage locks performance to a single host server and restricts the use of VMware features and functionality making them unable to provide the flexible environment needed for a fully virtualized data center or cloud computing environment.

ViSX G3â„¢ Delivers Performance Where You Want It

The Astute Networks ViSX G3â„¢ 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 and supports 64 host machines. Its unique Networked Performance Flashâ„¢ architecture lets you add performance to VMs where you want it.

Simple. Cost-Effective. High performance.

ViSX G3 gives you the performance and flexibility to realize the benefits of virtualization in large databases, IO-intensive applications, and cloud computing environments.
