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.
