Virtualization Performance Software Leader InovaWave Announces General Availability of DXtreme 2.0

April 3, 2007; 03:18 AM
InovaWave, Inc., the leader in virtualization performance software, announced today the general availability of DXtreme 2.0, the product family built to improve performance and scalability of virtual machines.

DXtreme is the industry's first software solution proven to more than double the performance of server and desktop virtual machines and the applications that run on them. As a result, organizations can now extend their virtualization efforts beyond infrastructure applications while better utilizing existing hardware investments – effectively accelerating savings from virtualization.

“Poor consolidation ratios and utilization rates have limited the reach of virtualization,” said Terry Ferose, CEO and Founder of InovaWave. “Our customers are already solving those issues with our DXtreme family of products and our new release, DXtreme 2.0, takes it a step further by enabling our customers to easily measure the virtualization performance and scalability improvements gained by using DXtreme.”

Along with several performance enhancements, DXtreme 2.0 introduces a rich set of performance monitoring capabilities enabling customers to easily measure and communicate the performance improvements of using DXtreme. Highlights include:

• USB Support – Adds support for using DXtreme on virtual machines stored on a USB device.
• DXtreme Performance Center – Provides a real-time dashboard for monitoring key indicators of performance.
• DXtreme Stats – Sophisticated analysis tool supporting both interactive and offline capacity and trend analysis.
• DXtreme Stats Service – Logging service enabling scheduled and ad-hoc capture of all published performance statistics available on a Windows platform.
• DXtreme System Information Collector – Provides a comprehensive list of all hardware and software resources available on the platform.

“InovaWave gave us the ability to optimize and tune our existing virtualization environment through their expert workshops and their DXtreme product has had an immediate and positive impact on performance and scalability," said David Graham, Senior Director of Technical Services of Vignette Corporation. "We have surpassed our virtualization goals and DXtreme 2.0 will help us consolidate our infrastructure while improving performance."
