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.

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.
