Datrium 3.0 – Surviving all Host SSD failures!
I recently wrote about the new Datrium 3.0 release with blogs here and here, including the support for Red Hat Virtualization and mind-boggling performance numbers.

In DVX, we hold all data in use on flash on the host. Moreover, we guide customers to size host flash to hold all data for the VMDKs. With always-on dedupe/compression for host flash as well, this is feasible – with just 2TB flash on each host and 3X-5X data reduction you can have 6-10TB of effective flash. (DVX supports up to 16TB of raw flash on each host).
