Cache Acceleration Software introduces by Intel for Linux – now Linux is ready to accelerate


In today's era of multi programming and multi CPU servers arise a new problem of better performance with moderated price of servers and storage device. Then what to do for making an effective system that can perform both the task. Intel gives its solution with memory cache .Intel's cache operation accelerate the targeted application without any extra hardware on server system using virtual machines. 

Cache Acceleration Advantages -

  • Transparently Accelerate Applications
  • Application Specific IOPS
  • Increase Storage Performance, Decrease Latency
  • Multi-Level Caching
  • Increase VM Density


Intel worked for Microsoft windows till the day not came when it launches its Cache Acceleration Software (CAS) for Linux OS.
Intel's flash storage provider announces its CAS for Linux which is compatible with Solid - State Drivers (SSD) for data canters.

Intel Cache Acceleration Software alongside SSD is an industry that supplies application specific performance on physical servers and virtual machines via Selective Optimized Caching. It boosts up the performance 18 times as like a quick transaction system for read applications. 

Now it will offer Cache Acceleration Software alongside NAND support in storage classes. It will also provide the facility of virtualization for hot data on cache. Intel’s storage manager said that "It’s not only about the performance but also about the stabilization of performance in every condition."

 It will boost up the performance and will not be affected from storage area network (SAN). Intel's previous Cache Acceleration Software comes from NEVEX. The use of CAS alongside NAND flash is hot in market. It is also accepted by SanDisk, Samsung earlier for better performance of flash.

Specifications:-

 Support  

  •  Window 64-bit Server 2008
  •  64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5/6, Centos 5/6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11* SP1
  •  VMware, Windows Hyper-V, KVM, Citrix XenSever

Storage

  • Any primary storage device


Flash/SSD requirements

  • Validated with Intel family data center


Application support

  • Any I/O applications, Microsoft exchange etc


Management user interface

  • GUI for handle cache operations


Intel Cache Acceleration Software targets those applications which need it most and boost their performance with providing them IOPS from primary storage to the servers themselves, providing a win-win with previous storage spends.

Intel is not only the SSD maker in the market san disk and Samsung also uses this technology.

Intel's senior analyst Flint says that in standard conditions Cache Acceleration Software can trip late the performance of CPU on a single task.

Intel's Cache Acceleration Software software gives a balanced integration between the standard server DRAM cache and the Intel SSD cache, by creating a multi-level cache system automatically determines the best cache level for active data.
