Storspeed is a storage solutions company delivering the industry’s first application-aware caching products. Storspeed was founded on the belief that there is a growing imbalance between an application’s appetite for consuming data quickly and the ability of the storage network to deliver it. The evolution of technologies such as distributed computing, multi-core processors, and virtualization continue to push application requirements for data delivery. Similar advances in network storage performance have not been realized, which causes applications to wait for backend storage subsystems to deliver the required data. Today’s way of addressing this imbalance is to over-provision the storage infrastructure – over-deploying capacity to guarantee peak performance – at great expense.
