FlashSoft Takes Different Approach to SSD Storage

Manufacturers of storage-area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS), reports Network World, are increasingly implementing multiple types of drives in their arrays. FlashSoft , however, has taken an approach that is compatible with all existing shared and direct-attached storage. By placing a driver in Windows Server 2008 R2 underneath the NTFS layer as a block level filter driver, FlashSoft is aware of all read and write commands from the applications and VM images.

"FlashSoft has chosen the Windows Server and Hyper-V platforms for market entry. Future systems, no doubt, will address Linux, VMware and other hypervisors, in both standalone servers and server clusters. The large base of deployed Windows servers represents a substantial market for FlashSoft to address with this initial offering. Applications like Exchange, SharePoint and SQL achieve immediate improvement with the advanced caching algorithms. FlashSoft is positioned to take advantage of a large, un-served market in the Windows Server environment.”
