Supercharged Application Performance
XtremSW Cache accelerates block I/O reads for those applications that require the highest IOPS and the lowest response time. The software caches the most frequently referenced data in the server on XtremSF, shrinking storage access time while offloading the I/O processing from the storage array. By sitting in the server, XtremSW Cache bypasses the overhead of network storage access, reducing response time from milliseconds to microseconds.
-
Automated Intelligence
XtremSW Cache extends FAST into the server, adding another tier of intelligence and performance to the I/O stack. When coupled with FAST, XtremSW Cache creates the most efficient and intelligent I/O path from the application to the data store. With both technologies, EMC provides an end-to-end tiering solution to optimize application capacity and performance from the server to the storage.
-
Total Protection
While accelerating performance, XtremSW Cache simultaneously delivers enterprise-class protection of mission-critical application data. XtremSW Cache leverages a write-through algorithm which ensures that newly written data persists to the networked storage array for high availability, integrity, reliability, and disaster recovery.
