The document discusses PernixData's solutions for optimizing storage performance, management, and cost in data centers. PernixData's software provides VM-aware storage intelligence that accelerates I/O performance by placing storage close to applications using server flash and RAM. This allows organizations to turn any shared storage infrastructure into a high-performance all-flash array without disruption. PernixData's solutions have helped many customers optimize strategic operations, maximize efficiency, and save substantial costs on hardware and operations.

- 1. Always Perfect Storage Optimize Storage Performance, Management and Cost in Every Data Center Frank Brix Pedersen Systems Engineer frankbrix@pernixdata.com
- 2. © PernixData. All rights reserved. Why is storage so challenging? 2 Management Limited visibility, predictability and control Performance Storage bottlenecks cause 70% of VM performance issues Cost Overprovisioning. Constant refreshes. High operations costs.
- 3. © PernixData. All rights reserved. Is the storage industry solving the problem? 3 Flash (10 to 100 µs) HDD (1 to 10 ms) Adoption of faster media Optimized data placement and contextual awareness RAM (100 ns) Legacy Hybrid Array All-Flash Array Hyper- converged Storage Server Hypervisor Application You want to be here!!
