Fusion-io Ships More Than 15 Petabytes of Enterprise Flash
Fusion-io announced today that in the past 12 months it has shipped more than 15 petabytes of its enterprise flash, which is enough storage-class memory to hold more than 199 years worth of continuously played HD video or 15,360 times the entire print contents of the Library of Congress. The milestone showcases the growing global shift towards utilizing Fusions server-attached flash in data centers for enterprise applications, database acceleration, virtualization and cloud computing environments.
“With a hundred times the capacity density of DRAM and less expensive on a per gigabyte basis, NAND Flash stands to solve the fundamental data supply problem that has led to 20 percent or lower average processor utilization, even in the face of virtualization, said David Flynn, CEO of Fusion-io. By integrating flash directly into servers using memory controller methodologies and virtual memory management techniques, ioMemory and the Fusion-io Virtual Storage Layer (VSL) make it possible for even large data sets to be housed effectively in memory. As applications can then utilize the full processing potential of the server, workloads can often be increased by 500 percent or more.
