Axellio Announces New Edge Computing HCI Appliance for Windows Server 2019
Summary
FabricXpress (FX) is uniquely designed to “scale in” by converging storage and compute in a 2U chassis, with NVMe over PCIe to make the most of virtual workload CPU performance improvements in Windows Server 2019. “Where once it might have taken a team of IT pros to deploy a datacenter, Axellio and Microsoft are making it possible for one person to establish and manage their sophisticated workloads that demand peak performance,” said X-IO CEO Bill Miller. “The work and collaboration between Microsoft and X-IO shows how the technology is advancing through software that enables organizations to freely move workloads between Azure and the Axellio FabricXpress platform. Networking, mobility and scalability within the platforms are the types of differentiators that will speed further adoption on both the SMB and enterprise level.” “The combination of Axellio’s FabricXpress and Microsoft’s Windows Server 2019 has allowed us to gain tremendous performance and scalability at the same price point as other compared vendors,” said Clark Carpenter, director, IS Infrastructure at Southeastern Medical Center in Ohio. We are extremely happy with our decision to stay with X-IO Technologies.” “Axellio’s FX-WSSD provides a powerful and reliable HCI solution that unlocks the full potential of Windows Server 2019 and its new virtual workload CPU performance improvements,” said Carmen Crincoli, Microsoft storage ISV senior program manager.
