SanDisk has announced the immediate availability of the newest version of its FlashSoft server-side, solid state caching software, which provides several notable performance, usability and compatibility improvements for Windows, Linux and VMware environments.

The caching software will be available in new bundled offerings that package the software with SanDisk’s array of enterprise flash hardware solutions, including the Fusion ioMemory PCIe application accelerators, the Optimus Ascend SAS solid-state drive (SSD), and the CloudSpeed Ascend SATA SSD. The offerings will provide an easy-to-implement solution which will empower customers to select the flash storage capacity and performance that best meet their data center needs.

“We have built our enterprise flash business to offer the broadest range of storage acceleration solutions to address customers’ changing needs,” said Ravi Swaminathan, vice president and general manager, Systems and Software Solutions, SanDisk. “The new hardware-software bundles offer the best of both our hardware and software portfolios in a single solution. We are excited to be able to offer customers a complete solution that provides the performance and cost benefits of flash technology, while at the same time making it easier for our channel partners to support their customers.”

FlashSoft software alleviates the "I/O blender" problem and reduces I/O latency through the use of server-side, flash-based storage caching, which helps increase application performance in both virtualized and non-virtualized computing environments. FlashSoft software enables data to be read and written more efficiently. The software assigns hot data to the solid-state cache, increasing performance while reducing storage area network (SAN) overhead.  This prolongs the useful life of current server and storage systems and delivers greater computing power, which increases customers’ return on investment (ROI), while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for their data center.
