MVX 2.5 is the only virtualization technology to accelerate application performance. Version 2.5 accelerates applications by up to 25X and supports a broader range of applications to deliver unprecedented performance improvements.
MVX 2.5 features two significant capabilities that address the memory-as-a-choke-point problem. The first is the ability to extend server memory, and the second is support for a pure storage service within the private memory cloud. When combined with its ability to accelerate storage, MVX 2.5 addresses a wide range of memory challenges that come from expanding data sets, data center virtualization, and business demands for faster application performance. The result is unprecedented application acceleration that can be achieved both quickly and cost effectively.
New Capabilities
RNA MVX 2.5 has an expanded interface that provides the Memory Cloud as an ultra-fast storage device. The MVX Memory Cloud can be accessed as one or more block storage devices, or as one or more NAS file storage caches, or any combination of the two. These virtual storage devices are easily utilized by operating systems, data base systems, and any applications that use block or file storage systems. MVX storage devices provide “virtual RAMdisks” that can be configured to enhance almost any system in a data center, without risky changes to application code or data center hardware.
Memory Motion
Memory Motion aids data intensive applications by collecting RAM memory from around the data center and bringing it to the applications that need it. MVX can delivery multiple terabytes of memory to an application as high performance scratch or swap storage.
Simultaneous File Caches and Block Devices
RNA MVX 2.5 retains RNA’s current file caching features, including the ability to offload and accelerate NAS storage systems. MVX 2.5 also enables additional use cases employing both file caching and block devices in a single application.
Manageability Improvements
The installation, provisioning, and operation of MVX have been significantly improved with the 2.5 release. RPM’s and installation scripts simplify set-up. Configurations are centrally stored and automatically updated. The command line interface has been expanded and logging options have been enhanced. Trial set-up, production configuration, and ongoing maintenance are all significantly simpler.
