Kingston recently announced that its enterprise-grade DC500 series SSDs has achieved VMware Ready status. This designation indicates that, after a detailed validation process, the Kingston DC500R and DC500M enterprise SSDs have achieved VMware’s highest level of endorsement and are supported on VMware vSAN and vSphere for production environments. Also, Kingston DC500 SSDs have been validated by well-known Network-attached Storage (NAS) provider such as QNAP and Synology, which offer more compatible and reliable SSD solutions for enterprises as well as personal users.

Installed in vSAN environments and vSphere servers, the DC500R and DC500M drives deliver superior Quality of Service (QoS) for read-intensive and mixed-use applications including virtualization. Kingston datacenter series SSDs are designed using comprehensive QoS test scripts developed in-house that measure IO and latency patterns at varying block sizes and queue depths and then tuned to our strict specification for consistency. Both DC500R and DC500M are tuned and tested to deliver low latency out to six 9s (99.9999 percent) of consistency while delivering high throughput and predictable IO.
