9:15 Decoupling Storage Performance from Capacity by Poojan Kumar, CEO & Co-founder at PernixData– (@poojan)
PernixData has created the world’s first Flash Hypervisor(TM). PernixData’s FVP(TM) virtualizes server-side Flash to scale storage performance, independent of storage capacity. The result is unprecedented read and write performance for all virtual machines (VMs), with no changes (or reboots) required to VMs, servers or primary storage. By decoupling storage performance from storage capacity, PernixData FVP will fundamentally change how storage is designed and operated in virtual data centers.
