What Makes The Datrium DVX Unique?

How is a Datrium DVX different from a traditional storage array?

First of all, a Datrium DVX is neither a traditional array nor a traditional hyper-converged solution.!

When talking about a Datrium Storage DVX, we are talking about a Server Flash Storage System:

• No need for expensive storage controllers (RAID, dedupe, …)
  • Storage typical tasks are handled by the hosts, once DiESL is installed

• Utilizes server-side flash (BYOD) for caching 
  • Buy MLC, TLC, cMLC SSDs off Amazon or get it from your nearest consumer electronics store.

• Backend storage for persistent storage

• Scale performance linear
  • Adding hosts, adds performance
  • Stop spending $$$ on expensive storage vendor upgrades

• Reduced “neighbor noise”
  • Each ESXi host runs its own data services
  • Local server cache, no pooling of SSDs across ESXi clusters

• Stop wasting your time managing LUNs, start managing VMs
  • vMotion VMs to a host with more flash headroom for better performance
  • Per-VM monitoring and VVOL ready
