SanDisk has announced FlashSoft software for VMware vSphere 6 as a virtual data service through integration with VMware vSphere APIs for IO Filtering (VAIO). SanDisk indicates that the latest update of FlashSoft provides users with a substantial advancement in platform integration, usability and performance, all the while improving customer confidence in host-level storage acceleration. In addition, the new VAIO-integrated FlashSoft software features write-back caching support for all VMware datastores such as VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS), Network File System, VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes and VMware Virtual SAN. SanDisk acquired FlashSoft back in early 2012.
VMware vSphere APIs for IO Filtering allows for the integration of third-party data services with vSphere. This gives partner technologies the ability to add to VMware’s software-defined storage capabilities via Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM). To achieve this, SanDisk partnered with VMware in the specification and development of this new feature to bring partner technologies into tight alignment with vSphere.
SanDisk lists the following features for the latest FlashSoft for VMware vSphere:
