VeloBit's HyperCache Helps Masergy Communications Accelerate Application Performance

IT managers and software developers have enough challenges, specifically how to maximize the performance of their IT infrastructure. Products offered by VeloBit help IT managers to deal with the challenges related to performance improvement using the latest technology.

Masergy Communications has accelerated the company's network performance analysis application by 20 times without making any changes to its existing IT infrastructure. This was made possible with the help of VeloBit HyperCache. Before zeroing in on VeloBit’s application, engineering team at Massergy Communications assessed multiple options to improve the company's network management application. VeloBit proved to be the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective means to improve performance.

In a press release, Kirby Files, software architect at Masergy Communications, said, “We evaluated multiple options to accelerate our application and VeloBit proved superior to all alternatives. VeloBit's plug & play software solution did not require us to make any changes to our application or hardware, saving us months of development effort. VeloBit is an ideal solution for anyone with I/O intensive applications.”

VeloBit is a provider of high-performance SSD caching software. The company combined RAM (News - Alert) caching, SSD caching, and compression in one solution that uses available hardware resources more efficiently. VeloBit compressed cached data by 10 times, which increased the effective cache size. Hence, more data could be served from cache. As a result, it increases application performance and lowers the I/O load to primary storage. Processing times for sample application came down to six seconds from two minutes, a 20 times increase in application performance.

Duncan McCallum, CEO and co-founder of VeloBit, said, “At VeloBit, we are committed to helping our customers maximize their IT investments by delivering multiple performance-enhancing technologies in one easy-to-deploy solution."

VeloBit was recently in news when VeloBit HyperCache enabled DataFeedFile.com to boost application performance on its high-performance, all-SSD-storage cluster by 50 percent. DataFeedFile specializes in combining data feed files from thousands of merchants into a searchable and normalized database.
