LSI Corporation has announced that its Nytro XD Application Acceleration Storage Solution now features integrated support for VMware virtualization software. The Nytro XD solution with VMware support combines a PCIe flash card with intelligent, host-based caching software specifically designed for virtualized environments.
The Nytro XD solution is designed to integrate quickly and easily with VMware vSphere, vCenter and vMotion and is transparent to system administration through native VMware management.
Robin Wagner, Senior Director Marketing, Datacenter Solutions Group, LSI, said, With a relatively small investment in PCIe flash storage, the Nytro XD solution delivers an incredibly cost-effective method for improving application performance and VM density for existing storage infrastructures. For key applications such as databases and virtual desktops, the ability to intelligently cache hot data in low-latency PCIe flash storage accelerates access to data and helps enable faster boot times and greater business productivity.
VMware support is available as a free download for the currently available Nytro XD solutions in flash capacities of 400GB and 800GB, and will be offered on the newly introduced 1.6TB capacity point model.
The LSI Nytro XD solution is a part of the comprehensive LSI Nytro product portfolio of PCIe flash adapters, including the Nytro WarpDrive and Nytro MegaRAID product families.
The products are available from select LSI original equipment manufacturers and through the LSI worldwide network of distributors, integrators and VARs.
