Violin Memory Launches World's Fastest Flash Memory Arrays in Europe and Challenges Industry to Reduce Total Cost of Ownership by 10x
CAMBERLEY, England, October 19, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
AlwaysOn Company of the Year introduces a new standard in enterprise
storage and pledges to accelerate business-critical applications and deliver
significant cost reductions at IPExpo 2011, Stand D11
Violin Memory [http://www.violin-memory.com ], provider of the world's
fastest and most scalable Memory Arrays, is introducing its 6000 Series
flash Memory Arrays
[http://www.violin-memory.com/products/6000-memory-array ] to the European
market today, at IPExpo 2011. The company, launching with European
headquarters in Camberley, UK, is also challenging the industry to
dramatically increase performance and simultaneously see significant Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) reductions.
Violin is driving a game-changing TCO model within the enterprise with
10x savings as an achievable goal. Its challenge to the market and
enterprise-class customers will demonstrate how new storage solutions can
drastically reduce data storage operating costs, whilst simultaneously
delivering unmatched levels of performance.
The company has outlined a series of questions
[http://info.violin-memory.com/IPExpoLondon2011_Violin-TCO-Challenge.html ]
that enterprises should be asking of their data centers, detailing higher
levels of expectation around bandwidth, capacity, processing time, latency,
cost, utilisation, and storage/carbon footprint. These include:
- 10x improvements to bandwidth and IOPS, 10 million IOPS and
40 GB/sec of bandwidth per industry standard rack
- 10x latency reduction, read and write respond in micro rather
than milliseconds
- applications performing up to 2-5x faster
- up to 10m transactions per second from a single 19" rack
- increased server utilization by 75%
- storage footprint, carbon footprint and power consumption
reductions of 75%-90%
"Violin Memory is entering the European market with something
fundamentally new to say to CIOs about storage performance and economics,"
said Garry Veale, MD EMEA
[http://www.violin-memory.com/news/press-releases/hp-vice-president-garry-veale-joins-violin-memory-as-managing-director-of-its-european-division ]
, at
Violin Memory. "By focusing beyond performance and addressing critical
enterprise requirements such as high availability, serviceability, and cost
of ownership, we aim to demonstrate that the future of storage within the
Global 2000 is Flash Memory Arrays."
Violin's Memory Arrays are changing the data center for companies like
AOL, [http://www.aol.com ] Revlon [http://www.revlon.com ] and Microsoft
[http://www.microsoft.com ] through its patent-pending flash vRAID
technology. This advanced technology was used by IBM [http://www.ibm.com ]
to shatter the existing General Parallel File System (GPFS) world record,
and by HP [http://www.hp.com ] to set new TPC-E and TPC-C industry-leading
server benchmarks.
