Virtual Server

Virtualization is hard on storage, but not on XtremIO.

Today’s powerful servers allow dozens of virtual machines to be run concurrently, creating a concentrated random I/O load on shared storage. XtremIO thrives on these difficult workloads, making applications run faster and enabling virtualization of even I/O intensive applications.

XtremIO’s advanced system architecture makes provisioning easy. Whether you prefer a volume per VM, a single volume for everything, or somewhere in between, XtremIO delivers the same consistently high performance.

• Massive Consolidation.  Rolling out new virtual machines or delivering more I/O to the existing environment is easy with XtremIO’s scale-out design.  You can support any number of virtual (and physical) machines on a single storage system with a single management point.
• Flash performance.  Disk budget.  XtremIO’s advanced deduplication operates globally across the system and in real time, condensing virtual machine images even across different logical volumes.  By making more effective and efficient use of flash capacity, the economics of an XtremIO array are attractive.  It’s like getting the performance of flash for free.
• Maintain the benefits of a SAN.  Host-based flash is often considered to accelerate virtual server environments, leading to data protection, backup, availability, and Storage VMotion issues.  With XtremIO you maintain the benefits of a high availability SAN.
• Rapid Provisioning.  Clone virtual machine images instantaneously and without consuming additional space.  Hundreds of new VMs can be rolled out in seconds.
