Texas Memory Systems Partners with NEVEX Virtual Technologies to Develop ‘The World’s Fastest Cache’

Texas Memory Systems and NEVEX partner to supercharge VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Server-level caching software and solid state disks combine to accelerate the performance of critical business applications running on VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines.

Houston, Texas (February 7, 2012) - Texas Memory Systems, Inc., provider of The World's Fastest Storage®, announced today that it is working with NEVEX Virtual Technologies, a Toronto-based developer of application optimized caching solutions. The two companies are partnering to develop joint solutions that will supercharge the performance of VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual applications implemented on TMS’ Flash-based SSD storage devices.

Leveraging NEVEX’s CacheWorks technology to optimize the specific application performance and utilization of the Flash-based SSDs in RamSan® storage products provides critical application acceleration and allows users to make even better use of existing storage capacity.

NEVEX CacheWorks is a file-based cache integrated with the Microsoft Windows Server® operating system; it provides users with unique control over the Windows memory cache to create a multi-level caching solution. CacheWorks can be installed on physical and virtual servers using a Flash-based SSD to intelligently cache active application data. As a result I/O-bound Windows applications such as databases, business intelligence, mail servers, and transactional web servers run up to 5X faster because they are not constrained by the slower speed of hard disk storage or latency to backend storage.

Texas Memory Systems offers the broadest line of SSD products in the industry and includes the only 1U SSD, the RamSan-810 eMLC system, and the RamSan-70 “Gorilla” PCIe card, which provides 900 GB capacity.

According to NEVEX CEO, Steven Lamb, “Our testing of the RamSan-70 clearly showed why TMS has earned the title of ‘The World’s Fastest Storage®’.”  We were extremely impressed by its speed, scalability, and ease of installation, and are pleased to be partnering with a company that has always set the bar high for SSD performance. With our NEVEX caching software, users will have an unbeatable solution. ”

“It makes perfect sense for NEVEX to work with The World’s Fastest Storage to provide The World’s Fastest Cache,” said Dan Scheel, President of Texas Memory Systems.  “By combining our high-bandwidth, low-latency enterprise data storage systems with NEVEX’s application optimization cache software, we provide I/O acceleration for virtualized applications that blows the others out of the water.  We are pleased to add NEVEX to our roster of partners to help bring an even better user experience to our customers.”

About NEVEX

NEVEX Virtual Technologies provides award-winning server-side caching software that guarantees storage performance for the applications that really need it. NEVEX CacheWorks empowers administrators by providing flexible control for application-specific data acceleration. I/O-bound virtual platforms such as VMware and Hyper-V, running database, business intelligence, mail server and transactional webserver applications, are able to run much faster because they are not constrained by limited storage speeds. Organizations can now use CacheWorks for performance and optimize existing spindles for capacity, snapshots/backup, and management.

solution that solves the problem of sluggish applications caused by input-output bottlenecks, which have plagued mid to large organizations for many years.
The hybrid solution utilizes a solid-state drive inside an application
server to accelerate the flow of data to and from applications. NEVEX
technology allows storage processing performance to catch up to server
processing capability while reducing the workload on the storage network and
devices. In resolving these performance issues and embracing the continuing
shift from magnetic hard drives to solid-state drives, NEVEX is well
positioned to be the application acceleration solution of choice for mid to
large size organizations.
