Virsto Software is going to transform the way your enterprise uses storage. We deliver game-changing performance and utilization with any block-based storage, working in conjunction with the popular hypervisors VMware ESX and Microsoft Hyper-V.

Virsto's storage hypervisor does for storage what the server hypervisor did for servers.

Six things to know about Virsto:

  1. Software only
    Virsto is a snap-in software solution that blends right into your existing virtual server environment. It’s simply another tab in the vSphere and Hyper-V management environment. The big benefit: no new specialized hardware appliances or storage devices to take up data center space and administration resources.
  2. Non-disruptive
    Virsto’s storage hypervisor delivers high performance with both of the world’s most popular server hypervisors. Virsto can be used to manage virtual storage on any existing block-based storage device, from RAID to SSD.
  3. More efficiency
    By delivering 10x more capacity from the storage you already own, Virsto lets you defer new storage purchases. Our high performance snapshots and writeable clones deliver production-speed, space-efficient thin provisioning. In doing so, Virsto makes current standard practices – over-provisioning storage capacity to ensure adequate VM performance – a thing of the past.
  4. Greater agility
    Finally! Storage can keep up with dynamic enterprise computing demands. Virsto’s storage hypervisor allows you to provision storage for virtual environments in just seconds. Our solution eliminates all of the wait time associated with writing data copied over to new VMs, giving you the storage self-service flexibility you really need.
  5. Better performance
    Virsto’s writeable clones not only drive thin provisioning – they give you a 10x I/O performance increase in your existing storage. Our storage hypervisor gives you the best of both worlds: the high performance of a fixed virtual disk (VMDK), combined with the low consumption of thin provisioned storage.
  6. Faster VM provisioning
    Bonus! Virsto’s approach to provisioning storage has a major secondary benefit – adminstrators can provision a full VM in five seconds, not 20 minutes. We help your IT team to dramatically improve productivity, reducing OpEx by up to 75%.
