STEC EnhanceIO™ SSD Cache Software
Cost-Effective Application Acceleration
Until now, IT departments have struggled to find way to fully realize the benefits of SSD technology because many servers were not capable of full performance through the simple replacement of traditional hard disk drive (HDD) storagewith SSDs. To meet the growing demand for cost-effective scalability, enterprise server environments need a solution running below the application layer that utilizes the full IO capabilities of the SSD. For practival adoption, this solution must be both easy to implement and transparent to the application.
STEC's EnhanceIO™ SSD Cache Software provides a reliable, easy and flexible way to scale your data center and speed performance using your server platforms. STEC EnhanceIO™ SSD Cache Software accelerates data access response time by delivering performance at the speed of SSDs, with HDD capacity and price points, to dramatically reduce your total cost of ownership.
