Sun StorEdge™ Fast Write Cache 2.0 Configuration Guide

Overview Sun StorEdge™ Fast Write Cache is a host-based write accelerator for A5X00 storage systems. It improves performance for transaction processing and delivers faster response times to user requests for data by reducing the frequency of disk I/O accesses. Writes are cached in non-volatile memory, then the cached data is destaged to disk. Fast Write Cache is installed on Solaris™ servers and consists of NVRAM (non-volatile memory) boards used as cache memory and storage cache management software.

Intel promises to add some stamina to mobile devices

Dothan, which is expected to come with 2MB of cache, will be made on the 90-nanometer manufacturing process, which means that the average feature size of the chips will measure 90 nanometers. In addition, Sonoma is expected to include support for...

Intel launches upgrade to Centrino

A flash-based hard disk cache called Turbo Memory will also decrease power consumption — and increase performance — by devoting up to 1GB of flash memory to holding system files and other data that the operating system requires at start-up...

IBM launches 16-core processor server

Features planned for i5/OS version 6 will include the option to encrypt data on disk and tape, and a virtualisation function that lets one i5/OS partition host storage for other i5/OS partitions, reducing the number of partitions that users need...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
