In addition, administrators of EMC's flagship VMAX storage array can drill down using VMware's console to see information, such as VFCache's relationships to specific logical unit numbers (LUNs), performance statistics and error condition reports.

Next year, EMC plans to integrate VFCache with the rest of the company's array portfolio, including its midrange VNX line.

EMC also reiterated its support for Cisco's upcoming offering of LSI's customized PCIe Flash mezzanine cards for UCS B-series blade servers. EMC that support in May.

The latest version of VFCache supports multiple PCIe cards per server. Each PCIe card can hold up to 700GB of data.
