Editor's Notes
- Last updated 10/30/2013 Welcome. I am going to spend the next 10 minutes talking about how PernixData FVP, the industry’s first Flash Hypervisor, is going to change the way you look at storage forever Our flagship product, PernixData FVP, virtualizes server side flash to enable scale-out storage performance that is independent of capacity. I will discuss how this works, and what benefit it brings to both your applications and storage infrastructure. At the end of my presentation, I will show you a short demo showing exactly how easy – and non disruptive – it is to get the PernixData up and running with immediate performance benefits.
- As virtual infrastructures grow, traditional storage systems have not been able to keep up. Storage I/O bottlenecks have a major impact on the performance of virtualized applications, resulting in unhappy users, lost productivity, and increased IT costs. Noone is happy with the traditional way of solving the problem – buying more storage capacity. It is costly, disruptive, and a short term solution. Plus it may not even solve the underlying application performance problems. To date, though, there really hasn’t been a better way to optimize storage performance across a virtual data center…
- Until now… PernixData FVP is revolutionary software that changes the storage status quo. It virtualizes all server side flash into a clustered acceleration tier that enables IT administrators to quickly, easily and cost-effectively scale-out storage performance completely independent of storage capacity. The result is unprecedented read and write performance for all virtual machines (VMs), without the need to change existing server and storage infrastructure. Unique FVP features include: Seamless deployment: The PernixData FVP technology leverages the investment in infrastructure that companies already have in place. The software is deployed in less than 20 minutes, with no changes (or reboots) required to VMs, servers or primary storage. Clustered platform compatible with all VMware operations: PernixData FVP uses patent-pending Flash Cluster™ technology to enable any host to remotely access the flash device(s) on any other host in the cluster. This technology enables PernixData FVP to seamlessly support all VMware operations and products, such as vMotion, DRS, HA, Snapshot, VDP, Site Recovery Manager™, Horizon View™ and vCloud Director®. Live migrations and distributed resource management functions continue to operate transparently with PernixData FVP, with no changes to workflows and no hits to application, network or storage performance. Full read and write acceleration with fault tolerance: PernixData FVP is the only server side solution to support full read and write (write through / write back) acceleration for maximum performance across all virtual applications. Writes are replicated across clustered hosts to ensure complete fault tolerance.

- In conclusion: Pernixdata is changing storage forever by decoupling performance from capacity. We offer a 100% software solution that is deployed in minutes within your existing hypervisor kernel, with no changes to existing servers, applications and storage. The result is faster reads and writes to storage, which maximizes the performance of all applications while delivering substantially more IOPS (in a true scale out manner).
- Don’t take our word for it – we encourage you to download and trial the product for yourself. It literally is a 10 minute deployment process, with absolutely no risk as we work transparently to your existing infrastructure If you are not quite ready for that I encourage you to goto our site where we have addtl videos, whitepapers, customer testimonials, and other useful resources
- Perhaps most importantly, for the first time ever, you can scale-out performance independent of storage capacity Storage performance is delivered from flash in the server not a shared storage device. This maximizes performance and enables you to scale storage performance as you scale your virtual infrastructure
- The PernixData solution results in two enormous benefits: Better VM response times. On average, you will see a 10x performance improvement in latency across all applications, as individual VM response times are reduced from milliseconds to microseconds with FVP. Because we accelerate both reads and writes, we optimize all applications – from SQL and VDI to Exchange and SharePoint. Better storage performance. A mid-range SAN maxes out at about 50,000 IOPS. Performance only gets worse as you add more hosts and VMs. Out of the gate, PernixData delivers more IOPS than a SAN alone – in this instance about 2x the performance. But more importantly, performance gets even better as the virtual infrastructure grows. That is the beauty of FVP –true scale-out storage performance is achievable with a few clicks of the mouse.
