DataCore Announces UpTempo: Performance Acceleration Software for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Databases, Virtual Servers, Citrix, OLTP, VDI and Other Disk I/O Intensive Applications

Business Wire, Sept 26, 2007

* Virtual Desktop Infrastructures and Virtual Server Solutions - Thin-Client Server Solutions: Citrix MetaFrame, Microsoft Terminal Server. Virtual server-based computing, by definition, has multiple virtual servers leveraging the same hardware platforms and therefore they centralize multiple loads of I/O data retrieval, disk storage and processing on a single physical server. While this method improves hardware utilization and cost-effectiveness, it also places a larger demand on disk I/O resources that can degrade guest operating system (virtual servers and desktops) performance.

Performance bottlenecked? Is your disk activity light blinking?

Does your system only seem to slow down while performing particular tasks? Are the disk lights steadily blinking while performing these tasks? Do you use a lot of disks? Are you running several applications or multi-user? Does the workload on your system change over time? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then you probably have disk I/O bottlenecks and UpTempo can make a significant impact on your performance.

UpTempo's powerful disk cache helps optimize system resource utilization by applying processor and memory resources to the I/O bottleneck problem.

Additional Information

Also, please see the mention on page 12 of DataCore in the VDI report titled "VDI: A New Desktop Strategy - A Guide to Managing User Desktop Environments with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure." The full VDI report may be accessed on the VMware web site at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vdi_strategy.pdf.> An out-take from report follows: "Block caching using tools such as UpTempo allocates a preset amount of memory to storing data blocks requested by the file system. Pre-fetching of data block based on usage patterns further accelerates data access. Writes can be written to memory and flushed to disk periodically for improved performance."
