VSuite Ramdisk is a simple-to-use solution for hard-disk bottleneck issue. It employs smart software algorithm, which effectively and efficiently simulates a hard disk using existing RAM. Because the speed of RAM is so much faster than most kinds of storage, this greatly speeds up your computer with reduced access time to files, which in turn, shows a huge improvement in overall performance. Because of the volatility of RAM, VSuite Ramdisk provides lots of image file features to permanently store/restore data to/from non-volatile media.

SuperSpeed RamDisk v9.0.4.0 Plus 32 Bit

OVERVIEW:
SuperSpeed offers two high-performance RAM disk products: RamDisk and RamDisk Plus® (compare). These products create virtual disks from the server's system memory (RAM). Although in many respects a virtual disk behaves like a physical hard disk, in one key area it does not: it is much, much faster, up to 50x faster or more. Like a physical disk, a RAM disk can be assigned a drive letter and contain a file system (including NTFS with compression). Applications can copy, move and delete files on it. It can be shared, so other computers can access it on a network. Additionaly, it can be mount point to ease integration into application file paths.

Features

RamDisk supports a single RAM disk with no backup capability. RamDisk Plus adds multiple disk support, system page file support, and a versatile disk image backup facility. Its patent-pending technology adds the ability to manually save the RAM disk’s contents, or automatically save the contents when the server is shutdown. This feature ensures that service and application data stored on the RAM disk can be preserved between system restarts. During the subsequent system start-up, the disk's image is automatically loaded.


Extended memory access
RamDisk Plus 9 has a most unique feature. Our patent pending technology can access memory beyond the limitation imposed by a Windows 32-bit operating system! In other words, RamDisk Plus 9 can use "unmanaged" Windows' memory e.g. above 4GB. It can also use the stubbornly inaccessable memory between 3.2GB and 4GB.

See the product's help file for detailed explanation of what "unmanaged" memory is and how to access and use it with RamDisk Plus 9.

Cluster Resource
On Windows server clusters RamDisk 8 and RamDisk Plus 8 provide support for a RAM Disk cluster resource. Cluster applications which access temporary data on disk can now redirect their temporary data files to a RAM Disk cluster resource to improve application performance. SQL Server is an example of a cluster application that benefits from this feature.

Risk
If the system loses power or crashes, the RAM disk's current contents will be lost. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can reduce the risk of data loss but not eliminate it. For low-risk performance solutions, see SuperVolume and SuperCache 3.

Security
Another reason for using a RAM disk is security or privacy. Once the server is restarted or shutdown, the contents of the RAM disk are lost. For some services or applications, this is an important attribute that contributes to the protection of sensitive data or information.

Quality
"Designed for Windows Server 2003": RamDisk and RamDisk Plus have been thoroughly tested to meet Microsoft standards for Windows compatibility. Microsoft awards this logo to products that deliver a reliable, high-quality computing experience with Windows operating systems.
