DESCRIPTION

QikCache delivers unprecedented virtual memory swap space performance to servers that are paging heavily. Servers are becoming increasingly I/O bound by transaction hungry applications. Providing I/O alternative can be as simple as increasing the speed and size of the machine's virtual memory (VM) sub-system. Upon start-up, Operating Systems, such as Microsoft Windows automatically allocate an area upon the system's hard disk drive (HDD) as a virtual extension of the system's limited physical memory (RAM). The combination of the actual RAM and the VM provide an area in which the OS temporarily stores its active files. This area is also used by the system's applications that can constantly swap "pages" of information. While processor speed raced ahead, the relatively slow speed of storage systems - most notably HDDs - has remained a bottleneck in the overall data flow in most systems.??Adding more physical RAM to a system's motherboard may have no impact on reducing VM usage.
