BURBANK, CA--(Marketwired - August 11, 2015) - Condusiv® Technologies, the world leader in software-only storage performance solutions for virtual and physical server environments, today announced that its V-locity I/O reduction software has been named a Computer Technology Review Most Valuable Product (MVP) 2015 Award winner. Following a meticulous review by the Computer Technology Review (CTR) editorial team across comprehensive criteria that included product innovation, functionality, and affordability, V-locity stood out in the Data Storage category for its ability to greatly reduce I/O overhead in virtual environments.

V-locity effectively eliminates the "performance penalty" from mixing uncoordinated, contentious and disruptive I/O streams from multiple virtual machines -- known as the "I/O blender" effect, which is further exacerbated by Windows free space allocation inefficiencies that fractures I/O into increasingly smaller chunks. By sequentializing I/O patterns and caching active data from available server DRAM, customer research has shown that users experience 50-300% faster application performance gains on their heaviest workloads -- with no additional hardware needed.

"We have identified a select group of innovative technology solutions that represent the standout leaders in their respective categories -- solutions which we think should be at the top of every IT professional's evaluation shortlist," said Kim Kay, Associate Publisher & Editor-in-Chief, WestWorldWide, LLC, publishers of Computer Technology Review and IT Security Journal. "We congratulate Condusiv on its well-deserved 2015 CTR MVP Award win."

"We are honored to have been named a recipient of the Computer Technology Review 2015 MVP Award based on the numerous strengths of our V-locity I/O reduction software," said Brian Morin, senior vice president, global marketing, Condusiv Technologies. "This tremendous honor serves as additional validation that V-locity provides our customers with dramatically faster application performance gains from a 100% software solution. Our customers experience unprecedented boosts in application performance, typically doubling or tripling the productivity of applications on their existing infrastructure."

Performance bottlenecks from I/O inefficiencies increasingly plague enterprises with an expensive and unsustainable business model of reactively buying more flash or spindles to satisfy application performance challenges. V-locity eliminates this issue with software intelligence that addresses the problem of increasingly smaller, more fractured, and random I/O that penalizes application performance the most.
