FlashSoft Update Spree Continues with 2.0 Release
FlashSoft announced the second and latest release of its FlashSoft SE software, which lets companies use SSD or flash PCIe to supplement cache in the server. This elimantes IO latency according to the company, which posted some impressive performance boosts in the recent past. FlashSoft SE 2.0 works with Linux, which is the native app for a lot of large scale analytical apps, and Windows.
The storage solutions provider’s new offering has a selling point the firm made sure to highlight:
“Because caching on server-tier flash can economically increase both server performance and concurrent workload by eliminating the IO bottleneck, server-tier flash-based caching is one of the most important new trends in server and storage architecture today.”
Looking at the numbers, the company cited a Linux server performance increase of 400 percent with MySQL and other databases. It also said concurrent workloads are three to five times bigger for applications running on either one of the two operating systems SE 2.0 supports. Version 2.0 supports 1TB of flash cache per box, or four times more than its predecessor.
SE 1.0 was launched in June this year, yet FlashSoft already managed to roll out over 800 separate improvements.
SE 2.0 for Linux and Windows is currently in beta, and pricing will start at $2,000 per license when the software launches this month.
FlashSoft has been pumping out new offerings in a very rapid pace these past few weeks. In August the company introduced a new edition of SE-V, a software complimentary with SE that is designed to accelerate VMs powered by VMware ESX.
The flash storage industry had another major update this week as well. Fusion-io added a new atomic write extension to its software, which eliminates the need of double process to performance the write and this increasing performance.
