With this release, the company becomes the first caching vendor to achieve VMware Ready certification on vSphere 6.7 for VMFS, NFS, vSAN, and VVols.

This version of Accelerator is a highest performing ever released, with enhancements to SSD cache performance, and to memory utilization in VDI environments.

An earlier update to the firm’s Accelerator software had included updates that addressed the security threats introduced by Spectre and Meltdown; these fixes are also included in 3.4.

Tom Linnell, VP, engineering, said: “Our strong relationship with VMware enables us to deliver versions of our product that are always aligned with their latest releases. It is also what enabled us to respond so quickly to Spectre and Meltdown with a certified version of our product.”

The company was an early development partner with VMware on VAIO (vSphere APIs for I/O filtering), and Accelerator software has been built on this platform since 2016.

Adds Linnell, “We’re pleased that our having VAIO-based software enables customes to get access to the newest features and enhancements from VMware without having to sacrifice the performance they’ve come to rely on from Infinio.“

This release of Accelerator 3.4 is just one of several milestones for the company in 2018. The first quarter of 2018 marked another quarter of Y/Y growth. Infinio also published its first round of performance data on Intel Corp.‘s 3D XPoint Optane cards. Finally, during this quarter, the firm welcomed Exertis (UK) Ltd to their partner program to provide distribution in Europe, and executed its semi-annual storage survey, posting results in February.
