Proximal Data, the leading provider of server-side caching solutions specifically designed for VMware environments, today announced it has signed a reseller agreement with CMT, a leading IT solutions provider offering high-performance data security, storage, virtualization, consolidation and infrastructure management. CMT’s offerings now include AutoCache™, Proximal Data’s fast virtual cache software that eliminates I/O bottlenecks in virtualized servers to increase virtual machine (VM) density, efficiency and performance.
\"Our customers are demanding more out of their VMware infrastructures than ever before,\" said Dennis Mueller, vice president of innovation at CMT. \"Proximal Data enables us to help our customers better manage their storage I/O and increase the virtual computing density in their racks. [Its] AutoCache software is unique in that it understands diverse I/O workloads and automatically regulates storage I/O without additional tuning to improve performance. In addition, Proximal Data\'s philosophy to \'do no harm\' and never interfere with normal VMware performance and operations in any capacity is very unique; other vendors cannot claim that.\"
\"By partnering with CMT, we are working with a solutions provider and systems integrator [that] is committed to providing high-quality virtualization solutions and customer service,\" said Rory Bolt, CEO of Proximal Data. \"Through CMT, AutoCache will be offered along with industry-leading products to help remove bottlenecks and improve storage efficiency in enterprise and managed services infrastructures, including cloud environments.\"
Proximal Data\'s recently announced AutoCache software works seamlessly within a VMware ESXi hypervisor and can increase VM density two to three times without impacting IT operations or requiring agents in guest operating systems. AutoCache places the hot I/O onto a PCIe flash card or SSD to intelligently supply priority data traffic to all VMs. This increases VM density and efficiency while minimizing system resource usage, enabling idle CPUs to support more business applications. AutoCache is also integrated within VMware management environments (vCenter™, vSphere®) and does not impact processes such as vMotion.
