Joshi will present on the topic "Enabling Flash and SSD for Virtualized Environments" as part of a special session on New Approaches to Enterprise Server Solutions at the sixth annual summit. He will enlighten attendees as to how to make the most of Flash storage to transparently and significantly accelerate virtualized application performance while lowering costs, complexity and providing outstanding ROI – without sacrificing the benefits that virtualization provides.
"Imagine being able to dynamically provision I/O throughput and SSD/Flash storage as a cache across multiple virtual machines to accelerate the performance of I/O-intensive applications in a virtualized environment," said Joshi. "Users no longer have to imagine this functionality – it's here now. By offloading IOPs from primary storage, both storage and application run faster and more efficiently. A solution like IO Turbine's Accelio™ Software makes this happen transparently, with no configuration changes to the operating system to effectively eliminate the I/O bottleneck in virtualized environments."
IO Turbine's Accelio software is application transparent and intelligently automates the caching of frequently accessed data to SSD/Flash storage, delivering extreme performance for enterprise and mission critical applications. It is the only solution to dynamically reallocate SSD/Flash capacity across all virtual machines on the host to maintain 100 percent SSD/Flash utilization. Due to this functionality, users can now implement VMware's vMotion to full benefit, moving VMs between physical machines at will. Accelio provides granular performance acceleration at the file, volume, and disk level and can be tuned for specific VM requirements. Accelio is the only solution to provide this level of granularity and I/O control.
Flash Memory Summit is the only conference dedicated entirely to flash memory and its applications. It is intended for system designers, analysts, hardware and software engineers, product marketing and marketing communications specialists, and engineering and marketing managers. It features forums, half-day tutorials, paper and panel sessions, and expert tables. Subjects include harsh environments, laptops, enterprise storage system applications, consumer products, performance, product design, caching methods, design methods, software, new technologies, market research, testing and reliability, and security. The Summit also includes exhibits of the latest products and product awards. For more information, visit www.flashmemorysummit.com.
