Proximal Data Partners With TriAxis

Proximal Data, Inc., provider of
hypervisor I/O intelligence software solutions, announced a
partnership with TriAxis Storage Solutions
Inc., provider of storage software and hardware products and
services.

TriAxis will sell AutoCache, Proximal Data’s hypervisor caching solution, to
midmarket customers across the US’s Northeast corridor. AutoCache with I/O
Intelligence removes I/O bottlenecks and improves VM density by two to three
times to attain performance for critical applications.

"It’s rare to come across a product
such as AutoCache that offers so much impact immediately and for such a small
investment," said Tom Mumford, CEO, TriAxis Storage Solutions.
"AutoCache works efficiently with
PCIe Flash cards or SSDs to expand the number of VMs,
reduce I/O bottlenecks and solve the problem of storage I/O performance.
Companies could not affordably achieve these levels of increased performance in
a virtualized environment without a product such as AutoCache. It provides a
high level of value for the cost."

"TriAxis has an impressive amount of
data storage knowledge and experience. They know how to help businesses
overcome performance challenges and maximize their investment in virtualized
environments," said Rory Bolt, CEO, Proximal Data. "By partnering with TriAxis, we have the
opportunity to work with an industry-leading storage solutions provider.
TriAxis will deliver AutoCache to those customers who require an affordable
caching solution that is easy to implement, noninvasive and plugs easily into
the hypervisor to immediately improve the performance of business applications."

AutoCache is an hypervisor I/O intelligence solution designed
to increase VM density in virtualized servers and accelerate business
application performance. With its I/O intelligence, AutoCache
characterizes I/O in real time and places hot I/O into a
local PCIe flash card or SSD, and then intelligently supplies priority
data traffic to VMs.

AutoCache adjusts to changing workloads and will not impact HA processes, such
as vMotion. This simple solution is also a cost-effective
way to take advantage of the performance benefits of enterprise flash,
converting a modest flash investment into value.
