Sunlight NexVisor is a high performance hypervisor that provides near bare-metal performance for your most demanding workloads - such as machine learning, AI, Big Data, Analytics and transactional databases. Sunlight NexVisor runs on AWS .metal instances and enables you to deploy fully virtualised workloads with access to over 1 Million IOPS each. On Sunlight you can decide exactly what combination of resources (instance flavours) you want to deploy without having to over provision on memory or vCPU resources just to achieve high storage IOPs.

Sunlight is a hyper converged stack, so includes fully integrated software defined storage and networking.

Sunlight software defined storage turns the physical NVMe drives on supported .metal instances into a super-fast redundant and resilient pool of storage - significantly increasing the IOPS performance far above what you might normally achieve via standard Provisioned IOPS.

Sunlight software defined networking contains extensive AWS support. Bandwidth from AWS elastic network NICs can be seamlessly aggregated into a single channel - making it easy to access the full bandwidth available. Direct assigned AWS IP addresses can be accessed from a VM. Encapsulation technology creates virtual private networks across a cluster on-demand with internal IP addressing schema.

NOTE: Deploying sunlight clusters is made even easier by deploying a free Sunlight Infrastructure Manager dashboard from the AWS marketplace first.
