Infinio Increases VMware Collaboration

With addition to Partner Verified and Supported Product program

Infinio Systems, Inc., in storage acceleration for virtualized data centers, has been added to the VMware Partner Verified and Supported Product program (PVSP)

This inclusion advances deployments of Infinio Accelerator in vSphere environments, and helps extend the quality of customer support.

The VMwarePVSP program validates third-party virtualization technologies and improves support through heightened collaboration with VMware. Infinio, which uses server-side memory distributed across hosts to create a storage cache, is a VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP), a member of the VMware Host Extensions program and supporter of Common Information Model (CIM) interfaces. Inclusion in the PVSP program helps Infinio’s interoperability with vSphere versions 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5, as well as upcoming versions. Customers of Infinio and VMware can utilize this interoperability to support their businesses as they scale.

The addition to the PVSP program coincides with the Infinio 2.0 release, which broadens its platform support to include block storage devices such as FC and iSCSI storage arrays. To support these new platforms, Infinio 2.0 inter operates with vSphere via VMware’s PSA multi-pathing framework; Infinio’s PSP Plug-in provides traditional multi-pathing capabilities while enabling a low latency I/O intercept mechanism. In tandem, Infinio’s content-addressable, deduplicated memory store continues to run in a rich virtual appliance environment. This hybrid kernel-integrated/virtual appliance architecture eliminates the trade-offs between performance and resource allocation.

VMware employs high standards for its customer support capabilities and the organizations it adds to the PVSP program, conducting a thorough audit of each member and its services. The PVSP program enables partners to create and offer emerging solutions that cannot be certified through any of the existing VMware certification programs. In this program, partners verify their product offering using VMware’s guidelines, and provide direct support to customers. As a PVSP partner, Infinio will continue to work with VMware to deliver high-access storage performance for VMware hypervisors and guarantee compatibility between the Infinio Accelerator and vSphere while upholding the quality of these standards for partners and customers.

Our goal is to provide customers with the top resources the industry can offer,” said Peter Smith, VP of product management, Infinio. “The VMware Partner Verified and Supported Product program allows us to collaborate with the virtualization industry leader and provide our customers with high quality support for infrastructure software on the market, helping them add immediate value to their organizations and reduce risk in implementing new technology.
