  • Granular and online application level caching
  • Combine shared and direct-attached storage (DAS)
  • Increased storage utilization across heterogeneous environments
  • Deduplication and compression
  • I/O path availability and performance
  • Automated storage tiering
  • Centralized storage management
  • Easy OS and Storage Migration with minimum downtime

Key Benefits

  • Granular, online caching at the application level. With SmartIO, application architects, server administrators, and database administrators can move reads and writes inside the server. In lab tests replicating real-world use-cases, SmartIO delivers up to 400% performance improvement while reducing storage costs by 80%.
  • Simplify SSD/Flash adoption and realize the performance benefits without compromising on high-availability and flexibility. Using Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS), scale-out servers with Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) and experience near-local read and write performance to and from remote disks.
  • Comprehensive insight into the storage environment enabling improved usage and efficiency across all major operating systems including Oracle Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, SUSE Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux (RHEL compatible mode), Microsoft Windows and storage hardware including EMC, HDS, IBM, Network Applicance, HP, Compellent, 3Par and more.
  • Reduction of primary storage footprint with built-in deduplication and compression in primary storage. In lab tests replicating real-world use-cases, deduplication reduced storage footprint by 50-80% and compression reduced footprints by 70%.
  • Get the maximum performance and failure protection for your storage. Dynamic Multi-Pathing efficiently spreads I/Os across multiple paths to deliver maximum performance, path failure protection and fast failover.
  • Use the right storage for the right workload. SmartTier, a feature of Storage Foundation, seamlessly and transparently moves data based on business value.
  • Simplify database management while achieving high availability and superior performance for DB2, Oracle, Sybase, and SQL databases with Storage Foundation.
