Acceleration Software for SSD by CacheBox

 (This announcement was released on November 2013. We just got it but think it was important enough to be published later rather than never. Ed.)

CacheBox, Inc. has announced the availability on controlled release of their CacheAdvance application acceleration software.

It enables 5-25x improvements in application throughput and processing with no disruption to compute or storage infrastructure.

CacheBox CEO Lorenzo Salhi said: “Business users demand peak performance from their applications but the storage solutions that serve applications data have not kept pace with processing capabilities or user expectations. CacheAdvance provides greatly increased performance at low-cost and with no disruption to existing systems. It is our first step in developing a comprehensive solution to address the performance needs of complex applications and big data workloads.”

Marcin Ozga, Dorsey Metrology International, an early user of CacheAdvance, said: “CacheAdvance allowed us to increase the number of authenticated users working actively with Drupal almost ten-fold without additional storage – that represents a very significant cost saving to our company.”

CacheBox’s internal testing of CacheAdvance shows 5-25x performance improvements can be achieved depending on the application workload.

CacheAdvance is a software-only, application centric solution that removes application IO bottlenecks in a targeted manner. It works by monitoring application IO requests and intelligently determines which data to accelerate to provide optimal performance and user experience. It is interoperable with any SSD from any vendor.
