VMware is everywhere and I’m very excited about the traction we’re seeing here. Across software build, database, virtual desktop, and other guest applications, customer are finding great value in placing an intelligent read/write caching tier in front of their existing NAS systems. Here are some highlights I’ve heard from customers.
• VMware is a write-heavy app and Avere’s write caching provides a huge performance boost.
• Avere block-level caching efficiently uses SSD/SAS tiers of FXT clusters, especially when using VMware Linked Clones.
• Avere’s NAS Optimization is faster than SAN and simpler to manage and scale.
• The Avere user interface provides great visibility into VMware operations, including ESX hosts, VMs, and VMDKs.
• Storage VMotion makes adding FXT clusters in front of existing NAS systems simple and non-disruptive.
• Storing VMDKs on inexpensive & high-density SATA and accelerating with Avere is much cheaper than storing all VMDKs on SAS/FC.
