The Flash Virtualization Platform (FVP) lets any server running the software to access flash resources installed on another host in the cluster. FVP installs into the VMware vSphere kernel, uses the same resources as the vSphere hypervisor, and can piggyback on the vMotion virtual network. The software is managed as a tab in vCenter.

Virident pumps up caching, sharing software for PCIe flash cards
Startup Virident Systems Inc. today launched a software suite to provide high availability, pooling of storage across servers and caching for its PCI Express (PCIe) flash cards.
The FlashMax Connect software suite includes three modules: vHA, vShare and vCache. The product's vHA (high availability) module allows server-side flash synchronous mirroring between two servers. Its vShare module enables remote access to partitioned PCIe flash resources to scale performance and capacity. As for vCache, the module allows the creation of transparent block cache on back-end direct-attached storage (DAS) devices and storage area networks (SANs) for write-back, write-through and write-around caching.
