NEVEX topped eight competing solutions that included two competitive caching software products, to earn the "Gold" designation in the storage system software category of the annual technology awards. Top honor is given to the enterprise data storage product that takes a leading-edge technology to the next level. Finalists were judged by a panel of users, analysts, consultants and Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com editors who rated the products on six criteria: innovation, performance, ease of integration into environment, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value.

"We are very proud to be awarded 'Gold' in an elite field of competitors that includes DataCore and Microsoft. This award demonstrates market acceptance and approval of our policy-based approach to server-side caching," said Steven Lamb, CEO of NEVEX. "Other caching solutions struggle to address I/O bottlenecks in increasingly intense environments because they accelerate everything equally in the cache. NEVEX CacheWorks can target acceleration to specific business applications, which provides consistent and enhanced performance. Credit for this award goes to my team whose many long hours of dedication have resulted in our groundbreaking product." 

NEVEX CacheWorks offers an innovative approach to Flash caching that solves the storage I/O bottleneck while enabling better utilization of existing storage infrastructure. Administrators have the flexibility to target acceleration to specific applications running on physical servers and I/O-bound virtual platforms such as VMware or Hyper-V. CacheWorks provides unique control over the Windows memory cache to create a multi-level caching solution that allows applications to exceed the performance of running fully on Flash.
