SanDisk Corporation unveiled a new generation of its Fusion ioMemory PCIe application accelerators to dramatically improve performance, while helping to drive data center consolidation and lower total cost of ownership. The new Fusion ioMemory PCIe application accelerators—comprised of SanDisk NAND flash, and Virtual Storage Layer (VSL) data access acceleration software—deliver up to a 4x price performance improvement, with up to a 61 percent list price reduction over the previous generation Fusion ioDrive 2 product.
“Fusion-io’s technology fundamentally transformed expectations about data center performance when it debuted eight years ago and it remains the standard by which all other PCIe products are judged,” said Vivek Tyagi, Director - Business Development & Sales, SanDisk India - Enterprise & OEM sales. “Combining the power of Fusion ioMemory technology with SanDisk’s vertically integrated NAND flash, our engineering talent and portfolio of SATA and SAS SSDs, provides customers with an unparalleled combination of flexibility, performance, scalability, quality and value to help solve their data center challenges.”
A recent Gartner report indicates that “with the proliferation of server virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), in-memory computing applications, and the need for real-time analytics, Gartner has detected a heightened focus on PCIe technology”. Over 250,000 Fusion ioMemory PCIe application accelerators have been deployed by more than 7,000 customers including storage DataLogix, ObjectRocket by Rackspace, Pandora, Santa Monica City College, ServiceNow, TransUnion, the University of Michigan and University of Victoria, making Fusion ioMemory a proven and safe choice for business-critical data centers.
The Fusion ioMemory portfolio offers an array of form factors ranging from PCIe cards to mezzanine storage for HP and Cisco blade servers. Each card is optimized for mixed-use or read-intensive workloads and can also be paired with SanDisk’s recently announced next generation FlashSoft caching software, which reduces I/O latency in VMware vSphere, Windows Server and Linux environments, helping customers further accelerate enterprise applications.
