Combining ioMemory flash performance with disk drives for capacity, ioControl is a hybrid storage solution that ensures performance is available for business-critical applications. With software optimized to maximize efficiency according to application requirements, ioControl enables IT professionals to provision, prioritize, and control their shared storage resources. The ioControl SPX solutions amplify ioMemory server flash performance further with intelligent server caching.

“SMEs around the globe are faced with the challenge of improving business responsiveness in tandem with the realities of fiscal responsibility and resource limitations,” said John Spiers, Fusion ioControl GM. “Fusion ioControl is architected to provide the best of both worlds, delivering performance that enables SME IT teams to meet expectations for faster systems without breaking budgets. We’re excited to team up with our European channel partners to bring Fusion ioControl hybrid storage solutions to Europe to help SMEs compete with the leading flash memory resources that companies around the world are using to stay ahead of the competition.”

Whether IT teams need to deliver more performance for server virtualization, supporting VDI deployments, or accelerating multiple applications, ioControl Hybrid Storage allows SMEs to take control of their shared storage resources. ioControl software simplifies IT management by enabling IT professionals to provision and manage performance at the application level to ensure business-critical applications always receive the resources they require.

With server caching options for multiple application clusters, ioControl SPX maximizes the ioControl hybrid storage performance to provide consistent QoS for the most data-intensive VMware or SQL Server architectures.
