This document discusses PernixData's software solution that decouples storage performance from capacity. It introduces PernixData's mission to lead a new era of server-side storage intelligence by increasing application performance without requiring new storage purchases. The software virtualizes flash and RAM resources across servers to provide a clustered data acceleration tier closer to VMs for dramatic performance gains without disrupting existing storage infrastructure.
