Infinio is a small startup that provides a server-side I/O optimization layer that brings storage performance closer to applications without requiring new hardware. It uses a globally deduplicated read cache across an ESXi cluster's aggregated RAM to improve latency by 10x and reduce reads from storage by 65-85%. Infinio was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Cambridge, MA. It has raised $24 million in funding and competes with companies like Quantum, StorMagic, and PernixData in the I/O optimization market.

Analysis of INFINIO By, Anupam Chatterjee
WHAT IS INFINIO ?? It is a small startup, vendor AIM: To separate storage performance from storage capacity HOW: By providing a sever side I/O optimization layer that brings I/O closer to the application Bring storage performance closer to virtual machines 10X improvement in latency SSD-class performance with no new hardware Lower storage cost with server-side resources Non-disruptive, 30-minute installation
TIMELINE OF INFINIO 2015: Version 2.0 of the accelerator released 2015 : bring development work to market 2014 : product development, promotion and sales 2013 : Version 1.0 of accelerator delivered 2011 : Infinio established
PRODUCTS 4 ACCELERATOR PRODUCT Bring together a user-configurable amount of RAM across VMware ESX cluster Present this shareable read cache across all servers HOW?? 4KB BLOCK LEVEL DEDUPLICATION CREATION OF EFFECTIVE CACHE SIZES
Infinios storage acceleration platform Globally deduplicated Operationally transparent Simple to evaluate, implement, and use Software-based performance layer; optimized for RAM We noticed the results almost instantly, with a visible reduction of storage latency on the VDI desktops and decreased workload on our filers. --Nathan Manzi, Systems Engineer at Minara Resources

Editor's Notes

  1. Infinio is designed for administrators to easy accomplish the things they need to do in the product. very few configurations or changes necessary, and those that are, can be done in just one or two clicks, like resizing the cache and accelerating a new datastore.
  2. Thank you and booth
