Virtual servers break storage. Virsto One fixes it.
Virsto One was invented because traditional storage products simply weren't designed for the virtual datacenter. Virsto One is the first and only hypervisor-based storage solution that can anticipate the evolving demands, barriers and opportunities native to server virtualization.
Initially supporting Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Virsto One is architected to be storage- and hypervisor-agnostic and enable users to virtualize storage-intensive workloads, maximize consolidation of server and storage hardware, reduce storage management complexity and significantly reduce overall storage costs.
Virsto One is easy-to-use hypervisor-based storage software that can be downloaded and installed in seconds. Because Virsto One is a compact package of software, integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Hyper-V Manager, takes only minutes to learn, and supports any installed networked storage, Windows IT professionals can immediately realize substantial benefits.
Benefits
- Reducing storage sprawl - cutting VM image space consumption by as much as 90% through unlimited high-performance, thin provisioned, VM-optimized snapshots and clones.
- Simplifying storage management – enabling quick, simple automatic thin VM storage provisioning, instantaneous clone creation and off-host snapshot backup.
- Increasing storage performance - providing VM-optimized flow control to eliminate the VM I/O blender, potentially more than doubling I/O performance.
- Eliminating excessive storage costs - improving the economics of virtualization by reducing the number of terabytes and disk spindles required for VM application support, enabling use of low cost commodity storage hardware, and reducing the operating expense of VM storage management.
Deep integration with Microsoft Windows
Virsto One is a simple plug-in to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, and offers a seamless user interface with PowerShell integration and standard Windows interfaces. Almost no training time is needed.
Virsto One value
Virsto One customers can realize the full promise of virtualization, achieve unmatched consolidation, virtualize any workload and reduce storage complexity while dramatically driving down storage costs.
