Proximal Data Distributed by Pact Informatique

Proximal Data, Inc., a provider of hypervisor I/O intelligence software solutions, announced a partnership with PACT Informatique SA, a distributor of IT solutions in France.

It will distribute AutoCache, Proximal Data’s server-side caching solution, to technology channel VARs, system integrators and service providers across France and French territories.

AutoCache with I/O Intelligence removes I/O bottlenecks and increases VM density by up to three times to attain performance for business-critical applications.

“Proximal Data’s AutoCache provides companies with a simple and cost-effective approach to maximizing storage resources and boosting application performance,” said Maurice Bodokh, CEO, PACT Informatique. “As a storage specialist, we find AutoCache to be a great fit with our portfolio of ground-breaking solutions for storage and virtualized environments.”

“By partnering with PACT Informatique, we will benefit not only from the company’s specialization in storage solutions and its expansive reseller network, but also the wide range of technical and support services it provides its customers,” said Rory Bolt, CEO, Proximal Data. “PACT Informatique will be instrumental in successfully delivering our hypervisor-based caching solution to customers in France and the surrounding region.”

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, it automatically characterizes I/O in real time and dynamically places hot I/O into a local PCIe flash card or SSDs, and then supplies priority data traffic to VMs. AutoCache is a read cache with write-through and write-around techniques. It 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.
