Just as the hypervisor did for servers, Virsto’s storage hypervisor achieves new levels of efficiency, affordability and agility for storage in virtualised environments. Traditionally, provisioning storage in virtualised environments required a compromise: production-level performance or efficient storage capacity consumption. With its hypervisor-agnostic, 100 percent software approach, Virsto combines performance and efficiency to fundamentally transform the economics of storage for virtual machines (VMs).
As the industry’s first VM-centric storage hypervisor, Virsto delivers differentiated software-defined storage functionality to each virtual machine, regardless of the underlying storage. With Virsto, all storage presented to virtual machines is high performance, thin-provisioned and instantly available. Virsto removes the storage inefficiencies of virtualised workloads and enables IT to achieve the full performance potential of the block-based storage deployed to support virtualised environments. IT administrators no longer need to trade off performance against space efficiency based on workload, with Virsto software, all workloads can now be virtualised cost effectively, with predictable high performance.
