VeloBit HyperCache SSD Caching Software

VeloBit, Inc., a provider of SSD caching software, announced the availability of VeloBit HyperCache for VMware and HyperCache for Citrix XenServer.

SSD caching software now supports a range of OSs and hypervisors while also avoiding hardware vendor lock-in.

IT managers seeking to get more out of their virtualized environment can use VeloBit to increase virtual machine density and accelerate performance of storage, applications, and databases.

An independent performance evaluation performed by Demartek demonstrated that VeloBit HyperCache increases VMware performance 4.4x, making it the fastest VMware SSD caching software that Demartek has tested.

Demartek also found VeloBit HyperCache to reduce the cost per transaction by 62% compared to NetApp E2600 disk storage array. HyperCache delivers performance using patented algorithms that take advantage of behaviors specific to SSDs.

"Adding support for VMware and Citrix XenServer merely three months after our first product was released demonstrates VeloBit’s commitment to rapidly meeting customer needs," said Duncan McCallum, co-founder and CEO of VeloBit. "Looking ahead, we will deliver additional solutions for VMware and other virtualization environments in the near future."

With this product release, VeloBit now supports the following OSs and hypervisors: Linux, KVM, OpenVZ, VMware, Citrix XenServer, Xen, Windows [beta], and Hyper-V [beta].
