Datagres, a leading provider of Application I/O Intelligence software, today unveiled a sweeping update to its PerfAccel Analytics Platform. PerfAccel 3.0 marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Datagres’ software only solution, extending the company’s lead in application I/O analytics and optimization. Datagres will be demonstrating PerfAccel 3.0 in booth 1011 at the NetApp Insights show in Las Vegas on October 12-15.
 
Next generation data center architecture leverages powerful Intel-based servers with their innovative PCIe- and NVMe-based fast storage capability for lowest latency and the highest throughput. With this release, Datagres customers, using PerfAccel’s deep analytics capability, can now make intelligent purchase decisions and balance their need for Intel Servers and Flash storage across all tiers – host servers, network servers, or storage servers.
 
With the introduction of PerfAccel 3.0, the platform has received major upgrades in the areas of application I/O analytics, predictive analytics, faster root-cause analysis, a new advanced GUI, better usability, and support for newer applications and operating environments. PerfAccel 3.0 delivers a rich set of enterprise-grade features that make it the only solution that packs the power of real-time reporting and application-aware analytics with a software-defined approach that removes the need to rip-and-replace.
 
“Datagres takes an innovative approach to application-centric storage that is industry-disruptive yet non-disruptive for customers,” said Ashish Nadkarni, Program Director at IDC. “As data center boundaries get redrawn, Datagres is shifting the burden of performance optimization from the storage subsystem to the host layer. Enabled by application-aware analytics of the host I/O stack, companies like Datagres can deliver fantastic service quality in mission critical environments at a fraction of the cost”
 
“Enterprise storage is experiencing a period of great transformation with the adoption of new storage orchestration software and non-volatile memory technologies,” said Bev Crair, Vice President, Data Center Group and General Manager of Storage Group at Intel Corporation. “Customers can use solutions like those demonstrated by Datagres software to start or expand their use of these advancements at the speed of the market, and leverage the performance and features of the Intel architecture.”
“The application-aware analytics in PerfAccel 3.0 drives higher visibility and deeper application correlation,” said Ranajit Nevatia, president and CEO of Datagres. “This new release extends our leadership in I/O analytics and empowers DevOps and data center managers to be intelligent and efficient about their application performance needs.”
