Storage optimisation software provider Atlantis Computing is set to unveil its new application-aware storage optimisation product, ILIO FlexCloud 1.0.

The new software complements virtualisation applications from Citrix, Microsoft and VMware. It will process all storage IO traffic within the hypervisor to decrease the amount of IO sent to storage and boosts application performance.

Atlantis ILIO FlexCloud 1.0 can be configured to use server memory (RAM) as tiered storage enabling clustered applications that require processing massive amounts of data to operate efficiently in scale out shared storage environments.

The new release can identify and map storage IO traffic characteristics of application and responds intelligently based on patterns. It also eliminates duplicate Write and Read IO traffic to reduce the amount of storage traffic.

ILIO FlexCloud 1.0 can process IO requests from the hypervisor so that processing occurs in memory instead of being serviced by storage resulting in improved overall performance.

It also creates new virtual machine clones on demand using Atlantis ILIO without copying data from storage or introducing performance overhead.

Atlantis Computing CEO Bernard Harguindeguy said, "With the introduction of Atlantis ILIO FlexCloud 1.0, we are demonstrating how our technology has the flexibility to deliver similar performance, cost and scalability benefits to server virtualization and the cloud."
