About FlashSoft
FlashSoft® software from SanDisk enables solid-state storage in the server (NVMe, PCIe, SAS or SATA) to enhance storage performance with full compatibility with currently deployed SAN storage systems. The software automatically places applications’ most frequently accessed data on the flash device in the server and keeps the data fully synchronized with the underlying storage. This cost-effective, high-performance flash solution improves application performance, virtualization capability, and storage efficiency without requiring any changes to existing applications or data center processes. Typical 2-4X faster with no changes to existing storage by reducing latency and increasing data delivery bandwidth. With reduced storage latency, virtual host servers can support 2X – 3X the number of virtual servers, at the same performance. Storage savings by serving storage traffic from the server-based cache, FlashSoft relieves overhead from expensive storage infrastructure.

Lifespan
Lifespan is intended to address the ever-increasing use and reliance on flash-based storage. If you require the most out of your solid-state drives or other flash-based storage devices, you can benefit from knowing how much useful life is remaining on those drives. Flash-based storage devices have a finite life, and when they exceed this lifespan, their performance can begin to degrade, or they can stop working entirely. It can be extremely valuable to be aware of the available life remaining, particularly in scenarios where these devices are used vigorously. Most flash-based storage devices store your data on non-volatile NAND solid-state memory. Each cell of this flash memory can only be ‘programmed and erased’ a limited number of times. Drives can have fewer than 2,000 or over 10,000 of this program erase cycles or p/e cycles, depending on the type and quality of the NAND chips used. For a middle-of-the-road solid-state drive, this translates into about 100 TB of useful life.

Dell EMC Flash Storage
Flash storage is enabling IT transformation for organizations of every size. All-flash storage offers a wide variety of benefits from lowering latency and increasing IOPS per drive to consolidating workloads, shrinking hardware footprints, minimizing power consumption and reducing the cost of management. While many companies are already realizing the advantages that flash storage offers, others are not sure the benefits outweigh the cost. Dell EMC provides a family of all-flash arrays that are designed to solve the challenge of embracing a modernized flash-centric data center while simplifying, automating and consolidating IT operations cost-effectively. Faster performance. Organizations using flash storage collectively report a 36% average increase in speeds, and a 49% improvement in application performance for organizations using all-flash storage.

ArchiverFS
ArchiverFS is a lightweight file archiving solution for servers and network storage that lets you use any NAS, SAN, or cloud platform as second-tier storage. With no databases or proprietary formats, it runs on pure NTFS from start to finish. Old, unused, or unstructured files can be moved in bulk from expensive primary storage to cheaper secondary devices while preserving directory structures, attributes, and permissions. If it can be formatted with NTFS and shared via a UNC path, ArchiverFS can use it. Features include support for cloud, DFS, replication, de-duplication, and compression. Optional link stubs (including seamless symbolic links) can be left in place of moved files, so users see them exactly as before. By reclaiming valuable space on primary storage without adding complexity, ArchiverFS helps organizations reduce costs, improve performance, and manage file growth with complete transparency.

PrimoCache
Effectively cache your frequently used applications, documents and other data into faster storage devices, accessing them at up to RAM-like or SSD-like speeds. Make your computer more responsive for creating, gaming and producing, with less boot and load times. Complete write requests very quickly by temporarily storing incoming data into RAM or SSD storage first and writing them back to target disks later. Enable your computer to handle heavy or stream write IOs, while reducing writes and wear on disks. Capable of interoperating with almost all faster storage devices, including system memory, invisible memory, solid-state drives and flash drives, to accelerate relatively slow storage. Setup caching and accelerate storage in just few simple clicks! Special features such as multiple caching strategies, different writing modes, individual read/write space and individual volume control, make caching flexible to various scenarios.
