Compare FlashSoft vs. VirtualMetric

SanDisk's FlashSoft® software facilitates the integration of solid-state storage in servers, utilizing NVMe, PCIe, SAS, or SATA interfaces to boost storage performance while ensuring full compatibility with existing SAN storage systems. By automatically managing the placement of frequently accessed application data onto the server's flash device, it maintains synchronization with the foundational storage. This innovative and cost-effective flash solution enhances application performance, virtualization capabilities, and overall storage efficiency, all without necessitating modifications to current applications or data center operations. Typically, the software can achieve speeds that are 2-4 times faster than existing storage solutions, significantly lowering latency and boosting data delivery bandwidth. As a result of diminished storage latency, virtual host servers gain the ability to accommodate 2-3 times the number of virtual servers while maintaining consistent performance levels. Moreover, by serving storage traffic from the server-based cache, FlashSoft alleviates strain on costly storage infrastructures, ultimately leading to substantial long-term savings for organizations. This multifaceted approach not only optimizes resource use but also enhances the agility of IT operations.
