Is Parallel IO really a reality?


Despite the increasing horsepower of modern multi-core processors and the promise of virtualization, we’re seeing relatively little progress in the amount of concurrent work they accomplish. That’s why we’re having to buy a lot more virtualized servers than we expected. So how exactly do we crank up IOs to keep up with the computational appetite while saving costs? This can best be achieved by parallel IO technology designed to process IO across many cores simultaneously, thereby putting those idle CPUs to work. Such technology has been developed by DataCore Software, a long-time master of parallelism in the field of storage virtualization.
