Astute to Showcase ViSX for SQL Server
Astute Networks will showcase its ViSX for SQL Server Performance Storage Appliance at next week's PASS Summit 2013, taking place October 15-18 in Charlotte, NC. Attendees visiting Astute's Booth 121 will learn first-hand how the combination of ViSX with Microsoft SQL Server ensures dramatically accelerated and consistent database performance, enhanced high availability (HA), and significantly reduced operational costs.
Ensuring the performance of SQL Server-based applications while maximizing data availability and minimizing costs can be a significant challenge. The scope, scale, and complexity of today's data-driven world create new demands for agility in the data center. Database server transaction processing applications are very random I/O intensive. But supporting enterprise-wide deployments of these powerful databases with traditional rotating disk storage systems inherently limits performance, resulting in prolonged queries, unacceptable response times, and long-running transactions. The result is often vendor finger-pointing that doesn't solve the business problem.
The ViSX for SQL Server Performance Storage Appliance enables customers to:
- Cost-effectively and efficiently devote more IOPS to critical applications
- Significantly accelerate application performance, consistency checks, cube processing and other high-intensity I/O backend processes
- Enhance high availability by using ViSX for secondary replicas in AlwaysOn Availability Groups and database mirrors
- Respond to growth and demand spikes by quickly and non-disruptively provisioning to ViSX
- Virtualize SQL Server with no performance risk
