VFCache (codenamed &#8220;Project Lightning&#8221;) increases throughput and reduces latency with a focus towards read intensive workloads including Microsoft SQL Server.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI';font-size: small\">When used with an EMC Flash enabled array, VFCache can actually increase throughput up to 3x which means customers can extend the benefits they are seeing on the EMC array since the use of an embedded SSD on the PCIe card helps to bridge the performance gap between the server and storage. VFCache reduces the need to access data across the network from the storage array which is what helps to decrease the response times and increase the performance of the application. VFCache automatically determines which data is being frequently accessed and promotes this to the server Flash cache so reads are being serviced by VFCache while writes are being directed to the storage array.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI';font-size: small\">EMC recently completed our testing of EMC VFCache and SQL Server 2012.
