OCZ released a new whitepaper written by Dr. Allon Cohen from OCZ Technology Group on the topic of transforming data center economics and performance via flash and server virtualization and how OCZ PCI-Express flash-based SSDs and VXL Software create a lean, mean and green data center.

Explaining how a new breed of flash-based data center architectures is unleashing the full potential of server virtualization and how a virtualized PCIe flash-based SSDs are integrated into more enterprises and cloud providers environments which results in reduced CAPEX (capital expenditure) and OPEX (operating expenses) and get transformed into a lean, mean and green environment.

Providing solution with OCZ's Z-Drive R4 PCIe SSD with VXL software which transforms the data center results in increased server utilization, reduced SAN (storage area networks) costs, highly efficient flash utilization as well as reduced maintenance cost. The integration of these hardware and software capabilities provides a perfect match for the storage requirements in such environments, boosting these infrastructures with flash performance without losing any of the capabilities that virtualization brings to the data center.

According to Dr. Allon Cohen, as more more enterprises and cloud providers are exposed to the uniquely powerful combination of PCIe flash and software virtualization provided by the Z-Drive and VXL, a transformation in the way data is stored and handled in virtualized environments becomes evident.

With lower COPEX and OPEX, reduced SAN costs and general benefits of PCI-Express SSD driven data centers, we are quite sure that more and more enterprise market will surely switch to OCZ's host-based Z-Drive R4 PCIe flash SSD combined with VXL storage virtualization and caching software, or any similar solution for that matter.
