VXL for VMware
Flash Caching & Virtualization Software Solution

Optimize Your Virtualized Business Applications

The OCZ VXL Software Solution maximizes performance of virtualized server environments by combining advanced application-optimized caching with dynamic allocation of on-host flash. In conjunction with an OCZ Z-Drive R4 PCIe SSD, VXL enables intelligent and efficient on-demand distribution of flash between Virtual Machines (VMs) based on need regardless of how many VMs are running concurrently.

VXL virtualizes Z-Drive R4 flash and presents it as network-available storage volumes and caching resources. With essential features such as High Availability (HA) and end-to-end Fault Tolerance (FT), VXL provides superior application performance and access, with or without a back-end SAN or storage appliance.

VXL Delivers:

• Application optimized caching 
• Highly available flash volumes
• Dynamic flash resource sharing 
• ‘SAN-less’ data center enablement
• Flash performance without compromising VM functionality
• vMotion™ support without loss of cache
• Automated cache warm-up scheduler
• Simple non-intrusive installation

Key Differentiators

• Only solution that enables flash cache physically located in one host server to be shared across remote servers simultaneously
• Does not require guest agents within application VM to dramatically simplify deployment
• Supports ALL guest operating systems that are supported by the hypervisors
• Supports dynamic VM migration from one server to another (e.g., vMotion) without the loss of cache
• Enables SAN-less data center as part of an all-silicon cluster
• Dynamic allocation of flash to VMs which leads to higher utilization rates and lower TCO
• Application-optimized cache on-demand for higher performance and endurance
