Presentation of PernixData at Storage Field Day 3
Overview of PernixData Flash Virtualization Platform
Basically PernixData lets us use cheap (and expensive) flash storage as read and write cache.
We can use it to accelerate specific VMs and even entire datastores.
I have deployed it with a production customer and I must say I was very pleasently suprised by the simplicy and performance of the product.
The very first PernixData customer (post GA), also known as vmPete has blogged about his experiences – a must read!
Frank Dennemann, famous top 50 blogger, who now works for PernixData also has lots of great content on his blog on this topic.
One example is PernixData FVP Fault tolerance write acceleration but he has a complete list of blog posts on PernixData here.
