Proximal
Data, the leading provider of hypervisor I/O intelligence software
solutions, today announced the general availability of AutoCache
for Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. AutoCache is a
hypervisor-based caching solution with I/O intelligence that removes I/O
bottlenecks and increases virtual machine (VM) density by up to three
times to attain maximum performance for business-critical applications.
AutoCache also supports VMware ESXi hypervisors. Both Microsoft Hyper-V
and VMware ESXi customers can take advantage of a free
trial of AutoCache.
AutoCache supports Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 and has received
Microsoft WHQL certification. AutoCache also integrates with Microsoft
Hyper-V System Center Virtual Machine Manager to provide single screen
unified management.
"To meet the needs of our customers with virtualized environments, we
are driven to expand our support for all hypervisor technologies," said
Rory Bolt, CEO of Proximal Data. "By providing our caching solution for
both Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESXi hypervisors, we are supporting
numerous enterprise and cloud service provider requirements, as well as
delivering a fast, efficient caching solution that accelerates the
performance of critical business applications."
AutoCache is the only patented hypervisor solution designed specifically
to increase VM density in virtualized servers and accelerate business
application performance. With its I/O Intelligence, AutoCache
automatically characterizes I/O in real time and dynamically places hot
I/O into a local PCIe flash card or solid-state disk (SSD), then
intelligently supplies priority data traffic to VMs. AutoCache
dynamically adjusts to changing workloads and will not impact
high-availability processes. This incredibly simple solution is also the
most cost-effective way to take advantage of the performance benefits of
enterprise flash, converting a modest flash investment into a huge value.
Availability and Pricing
AutoCache for Microsoft Hyper-V is available now from Proximal Data
resellers. US Pricing starts at $1000 per host for Flash caches less
