PernixData, the leader in decoupled storage, announced today the General
Availability (GA) of FVP version 3.0, the latest release of the
companys award-winning storage and VM acceleration platform. With the
newest version of FVP comes various performance and usability
enhancements, a new proactive wellness capability, and the ability to
deploy PernixDatas flagship software in vSphere 6.0 environments. In
addition, the company announced today the GA of FVP Freedom, a free
version of FVP software that is available to anyone who requests the
software (with no time limits). With FVP Freedom, it has never been
easier to experience the performance benefits of server-side storage
acceleration. Plus, companies can substantially lower storage costs by
avoiding unnecessary investments in storage array caching solutions.
PernixData FVP software has taken the storage world by storm with over
500 customers and 300,000 VMs optimized in just two short years of
shipping, said Poojan Kumar, CEO and co-founder of PernixData. But we
wont rest until FVP is installed on all of the millions of virtualized
servers throughout the world. FVP version 3.0 with new Freedom edition
helps us achieve this goal, making it easier than ever to deploy
server-side storage acceleration in every virtualized data center.
FVP Version 3.0 The next evolution in storage acceleration
PernixData FVP software uses clustered high speed server media to
deliver low latency reads and writes to any virtualized applications.
This ensures the fastest application performance with seamless VM
operations and complete fault tolerance. At the same time, any shared
storage hardware can be used for capacity, avoiding rip-and-replace
headaches. For the first time ever, you can decouple storage performance
from capacity to build storage environments that are bigger, faster and
more cost effective than ever before.
FVP version 3.0 sets the standard for server-side storage and VM acceleration. Specific new features include:
- Support for vSphere 6.0. FVP enables customers to get world-class
storage performance in any modern vSphere environment (5.x and 6.0).
- New HTML5 based User Interface. FVP has always been recognized for its
elegant presentation of performance metrics and intuitive interface.
The latest version provides an even better experience with more tools
plus a modern, fast, and flexible interface based on HTML 5.
- PernixPlus. FVP now provides a proactive wellness capability for the
collection of pertinent deployment data from PernixData customers. This
helps identify potential challenges before they arise, and enables
PernixDatas support team to rapidly resolve any issues that arise.
- FVP Freedom The Software Defined Bully
- FVP Freedom takes several of the baseline elements of FVP such as read
acceleration and Distributed Fault Tolerant Memory (DFTM) and makes
them available to anyone looking for storage acceleration. There is no
time limit. No restrictions on who can have the software.
With FVP Freedom, you can see the performance benefits of server-side
storage acceleration simply by downloading the software and carving out a
piece of memory from existing servers. Furthermore, there is no longer a
need to purchase read caching software inside the SAN, saving customers
tens of thousands of dollars per storage array.
From small VDI deployments to large database environments, it has never
been easier to get fast storage performance from any shared storage
array.
