Up to 5TB Cache offers 10 to 50 times better read/writes than mechanical disk

Seeking to alleviate the bottleneck woes of I/O-intensive apps, startup Gear6 today announced CACHEfx, a scalable cache appliance that makes as much as 5TB of cached data available to applications without having to retrieve it from storage.

The appliance, which is founded on what the company is calling “centralized storage caching,” pools together a vast amount of high-speed RAM in an effort to shrink the server-storage performance gap fueled in part by the server virtualization trend.

Sounds very cool off to read up on it, sounds like a great way of providing those high performance databases? Put them in RAM and make them near instant access? Check it out.
