RapidDisk

RapidDisk (or rxdsk) is designed to be used in environments requiring high performing data transfers and has been designed with simplicity in mind. Utilizing a management binary application, the system administrator is capable of dynamically adding new RAM based block devices of varying sizes, resizing those block volumes, removing existing ones, to even listing all existing RAM block devices on the system. The best part of the rxdsk module is that it has been designed to allocate storage space from the system’s memory pages as it becomes needed and is capable of scaling upward to address Random Access Memory sizes in the Gigabytes if not a Terabytes.

To date, RapidDisk has been adopted by many companies and institutions and used either in their internal data centers, testing infrastructures, distributed software / hardware products, to even as a learning tool.
