SanDisk Enhances Server-Side Solid State Caching

SanDisk rolled out a new version of its FlashSoft software for Windows Server and Linux operating systems that allows users to increase application performance while reducing overhead on storage systems, at a lower overall capital expense.

Key benefits of FlashSoft 3.2 software include:

• multiple SSD support, with SSD mirroring for “safe write-back” caching;
• support for up to four caches on a single server;
• acceleration of up to 2048 volumes per cache;
• maximum cache size increased to two terabytes per cache; and,
• support for volume-based storage architectures, including direct-attached storage (DAS) and storage area network (SAN) configurations.

FlashSoft software supports SanDisk’s own enterprise solid-state devices, and it’s also compatible with all vendors’ enterprise flash-based systems, including those using PCIe, SAS or SATA technology.
