Fusion-io Integrates ioMemory into Dell Storage Offering
Fusion-io announced that it has entered an agreement with Dell to integrate its ioMemory technology with the latter’s In-Memory solutions. Dell, who will now resell Fusion-io technology, is purposing the integrated product for large scale, near real-time analytics.
“Providing the power to analyze business operations based on large volumes of detailed information, the Fusion Powered Dell In-Memory solution – used together, for example, with SAP applications – enables increases in bandwidth, reduces latency and simplifies IT infrastructures.”
Enteprise customers will be able to customize a Dell In-Memory deployment with either 320 GB or 640Dell branded ioDrive Duo modules running on a Dell PowerEdge R910 Rack Server. The integrated solution allows customers to process most of their active data in the main memory of the server, and store their data in the than using slower centralized storage. This helps reduce latency, as well as increase processing speeds. A release also highlighted that ioMemory architectures tend to consume less energy than legacy storage infrastructures.
A lot of companies, including many who have attended the SAPphire 2011 conference, have made partnerships a huge part of their business strategy, and it seems Fusion-io and Dell have hopped on the big data- and cloud-rich bandwagon in a joint journey. It’s also a win for Fusion-io, a company that’s been at the center of discussion around Flash memory standards for today’s cloud industry.
This latest update represents the second expansion of Fusion-io and Dell’s OEM agreement. In the previous one, the companies announced Dell will now resell 320 and 640 GB ioDrives, and the 1.28 TB ioDrive Duo configuration.
Fusion-io is expanding, and the company seems to be targeting just about every market. It even presented its flash storage offerings at the Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID.) Speed-to-intelligence is a factor IT infrastructure can address, meaning that there is a great deal of demand for storage offerings such as the ones offered Fusion-io coming from the direction of the public sector.
