EMC Corporation has announced the EMC VFCache, a new server Flash caching solution. VFCache and EMC Flash-enabled storage systems significantly improve application performance by leveraging intelligent software and PCIe Flash technology; tests have resulted in increased throughput of up to 3X while reducing latency by 60%. With this announcement, EMC is extending Flash technology servers and developing the benefits of PCIe Flash technology from edge-case social media and internet to mainstream mission critical applications including Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP. As a result, databases, OLTP, email, Web, and reporting—any read-intensive workloads with cacheable working sets—will benefit from PCIe Flash.
