The solution combines EMC VFCache™ intelligent caching software with the LSI ® Nytro™ WarpDrive™ card, LSI's second-generation family of PCIe flash adapters, to further accelerate application performance and improve response time for Cisco servers in EMC storage environments. 

Accelerating application performance without disrupting existing storage architectures has been a challenge as server processor performance improvements have outpaced storage performance gains. The combined EMC VFCache and LSI Nytro WarpDrive solution has shown up to 3X faster performance and 60 percent reduction in latency for mission-critical database environments such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

"Today's heavy application workloads demand more I/O performance than ever before," said David Yen, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Group, Cisco. "By integrating LSI flash technology into our UCS solution and optimizing for EMC storage environments, we will deliver unparalleled application performance to our customers."
