Technology
Product Components
PrimaryIO APA 2.5 has two components: IO Analyzer, and SSD Caching.

IO Analyzer
The IO Analyzer is installed as a virtual appliance in VMware environments.

SSD Caching
PrimaryIO APA is a fail-safe caching solution that provides high-availability by maintaining redundant caches in the cluster. It can also work with remote caches, freeing datacenters from the need of placing an SSD device on every ESX host in a cluster. PrimaryIO APA does not need any downtime to enable caching. The caching engine is deployed as a VAIO filter driver that integrates with vCenter using VAIO APIs.
