The Intelligent High Performance NAS Cache Platform
- Unmatched performance for I/O-intensive applications
- Avoid overprovisioning of storage
- Automatically analyze active dataset
- Optimize NAS cache behavior
- Transparent operation with no mount point
RapidCache is an intelligent and efficient NAS acceleration appliance of DRAM and SSD that delivers unmatched performance to I/O-intensive applications while also relieving overburdened storage networks.
Storage professionals are challenged with the growing complexity of data management as performance demands outpace storage subsystems’ ability to keep up. The conventional approach of over-deploying high-priced storage capacity in order to ensure predictable performance leads to massive and unnecessary capital and operational expenses.
Cache IQ’s RapidCache identifies the active dataset by analyzing the network flow between clients and file servers. Once identified, the active dataset is served directly from RapidCache’s DRAM and SSDs, vastly improving the performance of files in greatest demand. Easy-to-define polices further optimize NAS cache behavior and can even schedule a dataset’s priority based on when an application needs the data.
RapidView
- Unprecedented insight into storage usage and performance for critical apps
- Find issues that occur faster with a real-time view of client access to files & access frequency
- Quickly determine network storage health and performance
RapidView is Cache IQ’s analytics and visualization product, delivering unprecedented insight into storage usage and performance for critical applications.
With the limited tools available to troubleshoot network storage performance, many deploy a collection of scripts, open source software, and valuable administrator time to assemble and assimilate performance data. This process is time consuming and tedious, and it is impossible to quickly find issues that inevitably occur.
Cache IQ’s RapidView provides a real-time view of client access to files and the frequency of access. By providing complete visibility into network storage, RapidView enables the administrator to quickly determine the overall health and performance characteristics of their network storage and then provides the tools to greatly improve application performance.
RapidView maintains the history of operational data that administrators can use to plan long-term requirements that better serve their business.
