Boost Database and VDI Speed with Our New SSD Cache Technology
 
Are slow database queries and lagging virtual desktops impacting your productivity? If you rely on HDD-only storage for databases or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), you may be experiencing delays due to slow IOPS and high latency. Budget-conscious organizations, like SMBs, government agencies, and education institutions, need to find an optimal way to enhance performance—without breaking the budget by adopting expensive all-flash solutions.
 
 

The Solution: EonStor GS with the New SSD Cache

Our cost-efficient solution combines EonStor GS enterprise unified SAS HDD storage with the new SSD cache technology to accelerate read/write performance. By storing metadata and frequently accessed files on a few high-speed SSDs, it reduces response times and boosts operations, delivering SSD-like performance at a fraction of the cost. Moreover, it delivers up to 50% higher performance compared to previous SSD cache technology.

Benefits for Applications

Comparing HDD-only storage versus HDD storage with SSD cache technology* reveals significant improvements in performance for databases and VDI applications.
 
 
Faster Database Response Times

Database

Faster Database Response Times: Databases rely on frequent random read-and-write operations within fixed/specific files, requiring high IOPS to prevent slowdowns. With SSD Cache, read performance increases from 21K to 160K IOPS, enabling faster queries and seamless data processing.
 

 
Faster Boot Times and Optimized VDI Performance

VDI

Faster Boot Times and Optimized VDI Performance: VDI environments require high IOPS to prevent boot delays. SSD Cache boosts read performance from 28K to 174K IOPS, allowing 5–6x more desktops to start up simultaneously without lag.
 
For mixed VDI workloads (80% read, 20% write), SSD Cache improves overall performance from 19K to 80K IOPS, ensuring smoother virtual desktop operations.
 
* Performance tests compare the GS 4024 (20 SAS HDDs) to the GS 4024 with new SSD Cache (2 SAS SSDs + 20 SAS HDDs).
 
 

Recommended Solutions

For environments prioritizing speed over massive capacity, we recommend EonStor GS 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series with 2U 12-bay, 3U 16-bay, and 4U 24-bay configurations.
