You bought Flash Memory products from Violin Memory to speed up a single application like a database. This is because the V6000 can run databases about 10 times faster. However what about your other applications? Violin Memory’s products were not designed to simply speed up a single application. They were designed to speed up almost every application that cannot fit into the internal memory of your servers. Hence, if your application is:
- Unable to fit in your server’s internal memory
- Constantly uses swap memory space on the server,
- Often retrieves information from different external memory source,
- Wasting CPU cycles due to large storage access latency,
using a Violin Memory Array can help that application go significantly faster.
Since you already have the array, if there is space, try out other applications. Those application users will be very happy you did. Maybe some of the other applications can show significant improvement like they did for IBM: Violin Memory Breaks Existing General Parallel File System World Record By 37 Times Using IBM Research Storage Technology.
