Founded in
2009, NEVEX
Virtual Technologies provides a groundbreaking caching software solution that
guarantees storage performance for the applications that really need it. NEVEX
CacheWorks empowers administrators by providing flexible control for
application-specific data acceleration. I/O-bound applications such as
databases, business intelligence, mail servers, and transactional webservers on
VMware, Hyper-V, or Windows physical servers, are able to run up to 5X faster
because they are not constrained by limited storage speeds. Organizations can
now use CacheWorks for performance and optimize existing spindles for capacity,
snapshots/backup, and management. For more information on CacheWorks, please

Who's
who in SSD? - by
Zsolt Kerekes,
editor - February 2012
NEVEX Virtual Technologies
is an SSD ISV in the
SSD ASAP / auto tiering
SSD market.
NEVEX recently announced a partnership agreement with
Texas Memory Systems -
which among other products includes software support for the
RamSan-70 (a very fast
PCIe SSD). |

In October 2011 -
NEVEX emerged from
stealth mode and
launched
its first product - CacheWorks - an
auto-tiering / SSD ASAP
software cache for Windows Server, VMware, Hyper-V priced at $2,495 per
physical server. CacheWorks' selective cache optimization technology empowers
administrators by providing flexible control to accelerate specific data by
application, file type, and location to deliver typical speedups of 3x -
according to customer quotes in their
launch
press release (pdf).

| CacheWorks
supports RamSan flash |
Editor:- February 8, 2012 - NEVEX today
announced
that its CacheWorks
for Windows Server has been tested and optimized for performance with the
new generation of flash SSDs from Texas Memory Systems
- in particular the RamSan-70
(a PCIe SSD) and the
RamSan-810 (a 1U
rackmount SSD).
Editor's
comments:- In
2010 I
wrote about the sometimes
confusing brand
stretch of "RamSan" - as even back then 70% of the SSDs that TMS
sold were flash
rather RAM - and PCIe was a sizable chunk of the product line mix too.
This software support from NEVEX fills a key functional gap (SSD ASAP) in the TMS
route to market.
It's important for NEVEX too.
TMS has
been selling enterprise
SSDs longer than any other company. But unlike some competing PCIe
SSD companies (Fusion-io,
OCZ,
STEC and
Micron) which have all
acquired their own SSD software IP in the past year (thereby obsoleting
most 3rd party caching/tiering development investments) - Texas Memory
Systems is still focused
on hardware design. |
 |
Nevertheless - while I'm
confident that acquiring an ISV isn't on TMS's wish list - the company
itself recently announced it would look positively on a suitable potential
acquirer. So nothing is as certain as it seems. | | | |
