Seek Systems Announces Xcelerator Exchange Edition
boost the performance of disk storage systems
Seek’s FasFile Xcelerator Exchange Edition is configured especially for email and exchange applications and generates application performance from Seek’s proprietary adaptive caching technology. Because of the high degree of repetitive disk I/O, temporary files, and internal audit trails in email, the Xcelerator EE can produce huge performance gains without any changes to the application software. The Xcelerator EE is an easy way to regain disk performance as the user loads grow. Some users have reported response time decreases of up to 75% after installing the Xcelerator. For additional information, data sheet, technical papers and more, please see www.seeksystems.com/products/xcelerator.html
