First of all – PernixData was a good host side caching software. Unfortunately for their customers, after they were acquired by Nutanix, Nutanix end-of-lifed their software. Our software, called VirtuCache, directly competes with PernixData FVP.

PernixData FVP was end-of-lifed in 2019. More similar than different Both us and PernixData differentiate from rest of the host side caching vendors in similar ways – that we are kernel-mode software; both of us cache reads and writes; have data protection strategies to prevent data loss in case of…
VirtuCache is software that improves the performance of Dell Compellent appliances without requiring you to upgrade the appliance or the SAN network. The performance improvement you will get from your Compellent appliance will rival an upgrade to an all-flash array. Compellent appliances were the workhorses of the enterprise storage market…
CEPH is a popular open source storage software. However its write latencies are high. VirtuCache caches CEPH volumes to in-host SSDs and by doing so reduces VM level latencies considerably.
VirtuCache is software that improves the performance of Equallogic appliances without requiring you to upgrade the appliance or the SAN network. The performance improvement you will get from your Equallogic appliance will rival an upgrade to an all-flash array. Equallogic appliances were the workhorses of the enterprise storage market a…
VirtuCache is installed in VMware vSphere kernel. It then automatically caches frequently and recently used data from any backend storage to any high speed media (RAM/SSD) in the VMware host. By bringing large amounts of ‘hot’ data closer to the VMware host GPU and CPU, VirtuCache improves the performance of…
CEPH storage from Virtunet has all the features of traditional iSCSI SAN with the exception that it is reasonably priced because it uses commodity servers with all off-the-shelf hardware. And so it is ideally suited for backup and DR storage which needs to be cheap above all else.
VirtuCache accelerates storage appliances to the same extent regardless of whether they have faster SAS hard drives or slower SATA drives, and regardless of the age and speed of SAN. Thus we help postpone a SAN upgrade, or if the customer is looking at a capacity upgrade, selecting an appliance…
