NetApp Validates SanDisk FlashSoft Software

For Data Ontap

NetApp, Inc. has validated FlashSoft software from SanDisk Corporation as compatible with NetApp Data ONTAP enterprise storage and data
management technologies.

"FlashSoft enables SSDs housed inside
servers to act as a caching resource to accelerate performance in enterprise
computing environments. It reduces the I/O bottlenecks between servers and
storage systems to improve server and storage performance,
" SanDisk said

"Used with vSphere, FlashSoft extends the
performance of NetApp unified storage by enabling SSDs to function as a cache
for frequently accessed data. By caching this ‘hot’ data for rapid
access (measured in microseconds), FlashSoft software reduces I/O latency that
can slow application performance,
" SanDisk added.

With FlashSoft, NetApp customers will be able to run key applications in
virtual environments; improve application performance by three to five times or
more; reduce I/O overhead on storage systems to balance utilization of server
and storage resources; and deliver new levels of I/O performance without
disruption to existing storage systems or data protection implementations.

FlashSoft reduces storage I/O latency and helps primary storage systems to run
faster. This also allows previously idle computing resources to be used more
fully.

"We’re pleased to have been selected
by NetApp as one of the first partners whose software is fully tested and validated
for the NetApp platform,
" said Tom Shea, VP and GM, software solutions,
SanDisk. "The NetApp and FlashSoft
joint solution adds new, high performance capabilities to reliable storage and
data management for enterprise customers and extends the value of NetApp to the
server.
"

"Including SanDisk’s FlashSoft
software in NetApp’s Interoperability Matrix will allow our customers to
enhance the performance of their servers by deploying a tested and validated
solution,
" said Tim Russell, VP, data lifecycle ecosystem group,
NetApp. "We manage our customers’
most important asset their data. With our compatible server caching partners,
we know that they can target performance enhancement to specific servers and
VMs.
