Dataram, a computer memory, storage products, software and services provider, is now offering its advanced SAN caching appliance, the Dataram XcelaSAN, with double the cache memory per high-availability appliance. Customers with a midrange Fibre Channel SAN environment can now accelerate more applications.
XcelaSAN is a SAN acceleration appliance that delivers up to 30 times I/O performance and accelerates both reads and writes with a high-availability architecture. XcelaSAN dynamically caches high I/O activity application data when it is needed, to support multiple applications many times larger than the cache itself. According to Jason Caulkins, chief technologist at Dataram, the added cache capacity allows customers to add cache tiering to a more expansive range of applications, in addition to mission-critical applications.
The XcelaSAN can be deployed in a mirrored pair with high-availability to dynamically improve application performance with no changes to application or system processes.
