InfoWorld Podcast: Speeding I/O the old-fashioned way
DataCore revs up applications with one of the oldest computing concepts: memory caching LISTEN!
"DataCore Revs Up Apps - By Mario Apicella - senior analyst of the InfoWorld Test Center.
UpTempo, when installed on a Windows machine, automatically carves out a large, dedicated chunk of memory for caching. In my trial on a Windows XP desktop with 1.5GB of RAM, UpTempo claimed about one-third of the total memory for caching, though that value can be manually adjusted...."With UpTempo caching, its performance numbers almost ran off the chart, leaving the benchmark's set of reference drives in the dust. (Follow the red line on the chart.) Comparing the results I obtained on the same machine without UpTempo, the caching sped up my drive by a factor of almost 15, which seems too good to be true and probably is. In fact, DataCore suggests that the speed boost will most commonly fall in the 3X to 4X range, although better results are also possible."

We use these wares in our labs and they work. Period. Rock solid.
In their spare time, what do these storage geeks do? They write cool storage utilities. The latest, UpTempo, is killer. It speeds up disk I/O in Windows so your machine performs like the vendor said it would, only better..."

Tom's Networking Guide - DataCore UpTempo
(Article in German, translated excerpt below)
UpTempo is a “Performance Accelerator”, a block cache that works below the Windows file system. UpTempo increases I/O performance using cache and intelligent algorithms. UpTempo accelerates I/O for applications running on Windows. Visio, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere applications have shown up to three to four times faster performance in benchmarks. Accesses measured to the local file system (Swap file) using the H2BenchW tests on a Dell Notebook ran up to three times more quickly.
