      INTRODUCTION      

Turbo Boost Virtualization

While virtualization allows organizations to use and manage infrastructure much more efficiently, it places extremely high demand on storage systems by making even sequential access random. Because random access is precisely the pattern that most challenges traditional storage, much of virtualization's cost savings are offset by the need to purchase and maintain expensive storage systems just for performance purposes.

ioTurbine unleashes VMware's potential, transforming ioMemory products into a powerful, easy-to-manage, drop-in virtual performance system. ioTurbine delivers Fusion Powered performance, density, and cost savings transparently to enterprise VMware environments, including those that use vMotion.

After a simple installation, ioTurbine runs in the background as a component in the hypervisor and in the guest operating system. By tightly coupling with the file system I/O routines in the guest OS, I/O patterns are transparently redirected so flash storage is shared across all hosted VMs. For optimal use of resources, ioTurbine dynamically rebalances I/O as VMs come and go, supporting vMotion and the movement of VMs from host to host.

Because it is transparent, no configuration changes are needed in the guest OS and adjustments can be made on the fly with no downtime. The system administrator can refine how flash storage will be shared per VM, assigning priority to the virtualized applications that need it, from the volume to the individual file level. By offloading IOPs from primary storage, both storage and applications run faster and more efficiently.
