Fusion-io to Put Acceleration Tech on Display at VMworld
Flash shines in virtualized environments, and what better place to demonstrate this quality than VMworld. SSD behemoth Fusion-io announced this week that it will offer guides on how to accelerate VMware-virtualized workloads using its ioMemory architecture at the upcoming VMworld 2013 conference in San Francisco.
Fusion-io will instruct attendees on using Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators to offload storage I/O to the server and simplify provisioning in VDI environments. The company will also share use cases from Dell customers, cover the benefits of utilizing ION flash SAN solution in HP environments, and show off IBM’s FlashCache Storage Accelerator. The newly unveiled platform combines Fusion-io’s ioTurbine caching software with System x, BladeCenter and Flex System servers.
VMworld attendees will be able to visit Fusion-io at booth 1245 or the Fusion-io Performance Café.
“Fusion-io server systems vendors and customers worldwide know they can rely on ioMemory to provide leading application acceleration for successful virtualized infrastructure deployments,” stated Sean Hehir the vice president of strategic business development at Fusion-io. “As ioMemory-based products are available directly from leaders like Cisco, Dell, IBM and HP, enterprises can easily accelerate their virtualization workloads with servers and shared storage infrastructure that meets the unique needs of their organization.”
The channel is a central pillar of Fusion-io’s growth strategy, as is the open-source community. Earlier this month, the company donated its Atomic Writes API to the T10 SCSI Storage Interfaces Technical Committee, and released the source code for its Demand Paging Extension, which uses flash to optimize virtual memory management. Fusion-io also open sourced NVMKV, a nonvolatile memory key-value interface that enables database architects to take advantage of the performance, low latency and garbage collection capabilities of Flash Translation Layers.
