Storspeed’s SP5000 application-aware caching solution delivers breakthrough visibility and performance into the file-based storage infrastructure. IT managers, for the first time, can identify storage “hot-spots” and connect storage usage back to users, IP addresses, virtual machines, and applications in multi-vendor environments. Critical applications automatically benefit from the performance delivered by the application-aware cache; as applications or data sets change, the SP5000 intelligently accelerates the hot data.
“We are honored to be recognized as Storage Magazine/SearchStorage.com’s Gold award winner,” said Greg Dahl, co-founder and VP of Business Development at Storspeed, “We believe the SP5000 is a game-changing solution in network storage. The SP5000 gives IT managers’ unprecedented visibility into their storage infrastructure and delivers industry leading performance to their most important applications.”
The Storspeed SP5000 is invisible to applications, storage, and network infrastructure. No operational changes are required to begin realizing performance and visibility benefits. A cluster of SP5000 nodes scales to millions of IOPS and gigabytes per second of throughput.
