Dataram Doubles Cache Capacity of XcelaSAN Appliance

Dataram Corporation announced that its SAN caching appliance, the XcelaSAN, is available with double the cache memory per high-availability appliance.  

Customers can now accelerate more applications and drive higher productivity in their midrange Fibre Channel SAN environments.  

XcelaSAN is a SAN acceleration appliance that delivers up to 30 times I/O performance and accelerates both reads and writes with a high-availability architecture. Unlike most solid state storage solutions, XcelaSAN dynamically caches high I/O activity application data when it is needed, to support multiple applications many times larger than the cache itself.

"With the new capacity upgrade, the XcelaSAN storage optimization appliance allows customers to dramatically accelerate more applications with a cost-effective, easy to install storage appliance," said Jason Caulkins, Chief Technologist, Dataram. "The added cache capacity allows customers to add cache tiering to a wider range of applications in addition to their mission critical applications, resulting in improved performance across their entire business."

The XcelaSAN can be deployed in a mirrored pair with high-availability to dynamically improve application performance with no changes to application or system processes. Customers experience improved productivity and reduced processing time with more efficient resource utilization and a reduction in the total cost of computing.  

The XcelaSAN Model 100 with 256GB of cache memory can be ordered for delivery in mid-May.
