ESX Driver Stack Validated for 2.7TB and 5.4TB Capacity Models
BARCELONA, SPAIN / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2016 / Mangstor Inc., a leading developer of high performance, next-generation, non-volatile memory storage solutions, today announced that its MX-Series NVMe-based SSDs earned certification on VMware vSphere® 6.0. Mangstor validated its ESX driver stack on MX6300 2.7TB and 5.4TB capacity models through the VMware I/O Vendor Partner (IOVP) Program that enables vendor device drivers to be released independently of VMware product releases.
MX6300 SSDs are presented at VMworld 2016 Europe this week by Mangstor in Stand #E617. The conference continues today through Thursday, October 20th, and located at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain -- www.vmworld.com/en/europe/index.html.
The MX6300 SSD is available with 2.7TB and 5.4TB capacities providing VMware customers with high capacity and high performance flash storage in support of both physical and virtual environments. It also enables VMware users with the ability to leverage existing management tools and processes in support of industry-standard NVMe SSDs. Certification represents that Mangstor MX-Series SSDs have been thoroughly tested by VMware to operate properly in vSphere 6.0 environments.
"We are the leading developer of the highest performance NVMe-based storage solutions and today's announcement is indicative of the continued trend towards ultra-high performance and lower latencies in the datacenter," said David Ridgeway, VP Product Management for Mangstor Inc. "VMware customers using Mangstor MX-Series SSDs within virtualized server environments will be able to experience the same high performance I/O responses, innovative management capabilities, and best-in-class low latency that they've come to expect from Mangstor within a virtualized server environment."
"MX6300 Series NVMe SSDs are supported on VMware vSphere 6.0 enabling VMware customers to extend their vSphere 6.0 investments while deploying next-generation SSDs in their datacenters under a common management platform. Third-party testing by Tom's IT Pro revealed that Mangstor has 'the fastest NVMe SSD on the market leveraging a unique architecture that features the highest raw speed," as reported in a June 2015 review.
"The rapid migration from legacy HDDs to high performance SSDs is driving the need for new storage technologies and devices, such as those based on NVMe, and certified to operate with VMware virtualization," said Kristen Edwards, Director, Technology Alliance Partner Program, VMware. "Mangstor's MX6300 NVMe SSDs are a great addition to the VMware IOVP platform, enabling our mutual customers to increase virtualized server performance, reduce application response times, and take full advantage of the robust manageability built within VMware virtualized environments."
