Proximal Data develops AutoCache, a server-side adaptive I/O caching software designed for virtualized environments that plugs into hypervisors such as VMware ESXi and requires no guest-OS agents. AutoCache places hot I/O onto PCIe flash cards or SSDs and can increase virtual machine density up to three times by eliminating I/O bottlenecks. The product supports multiple caching algorithms to optimize for dynamic workloads and is sold to a global customer base that has reported performance gains without changing operational procedures. Proximal Data positions AutoCache as a solution that improves VM efficiency and application performance while minimizing impact on IT operations. The company will use new funding to expand sales distribution channels, enter additional global markets, and further advance AutoCache’s storage I/O caching capabilities.
