By: LSI Corporation Virtualisation is pervasive in the enterprise, but IT organisations are being limited in the number of virtual machines (VMs) they can deploy due to the storage I/O bottleneck caused by slow hard disk access. The Nytro XD solution helps to eliminate storage bottlenecks in virtualised environments by dramatically improving IOPS performance and VM density and does so with minimal impact to existing storage infrastructure. The Nytro XD solution boosts the IOPS performance for applications running inside VMs by intelligently caching the most frequently accessed “hot” data on low-latency PCIe flash storage. The Nytro XD solution is designed to integrate quickly and easily with VMware vSphere®, vCentre™ and vMotion™ and is transparent to system administration through native VMware management. [Editor’s Note: LSI will provide an overview of Nytro XD for VMware in Booth #E507 in the Solutions Exchange at VMworld in Barcelona (http://www.vmworld.com/ Nytro XD solution customer benefits include: · Cost-effective acceleration of existing SAN, DAS and NAS (VMware only) storage through automated and intelligent caching of hot data to PCIe flash storage · Up to 3X greater VM density, allowing for server consolidation, reduced rack space requirements and lower power, cooling and licensing costs · Improved CPU power utilisation, enabling idle CPUs to support additional business applications · Reduced network storage load by removing frequent-read I/Os from network storage, leaving the storage free to devote a higher percentage of its IOPS to writes · Non-disruptive IT operations by not requiring the installation of agents or drivers for each guest OS “With a relatively small investment in PCIe flash storage, the Nytro XD solution delivers an incredibly cost-effective method for improving application performance and VM density for existing storage infrastructures,” VMware support is available as a free download for the currently available Nytro XD solutions in flash capacities of 400GB and 800GB, and will be offered on the newly introduced 1.6TB capacity point model. The LSI Nytro XD solution is a part of the comprehensive LSI Nytro product portfolio (http://www.thesmarterwaytofaster.com/ More information on the LSI Nytro application acceleration product portfolio is available atwww.lsi.com/ About LSI LSI Corporation designs semiconductors and software that accelerate storage and networking in datacentres, mobile networks and client computing.
