Tech and I/O solutions provider Fusion-io announced a new product called the Fusion ioSphere platform. The offering provides real-time monitoring and reporting features, centralized management for distributed environments, and Flash-optimized features including an ioMemory ability to act as cache for existing storage systems and more.

“The ioSphere platform is a centralized interface for deploying and managing VSL (Virtual Storage Layer)–enabled software solutions. The ioManager software module comes standard with every ioMemory hardware device”

This is only one of Fusion-io’s recent product releases, which also includes the Flash-based storage-class memory pioneer’s latest team-up with the international financial services provider Credit Suisse. The company is looking to strengthen its algorithmic trading platform by leveraging Fusion-io tech, as well as increase application performance.

Fusion-io is in a definitive leadership position.  The company has even set a new record with ioDrive Octal, which has the highest Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) as well as bandwidth compared to any other offering. The latest version enables a handsome 6.2 GB/s worth of bandwidth and 5.7 TB of linear-scaling capacity per PCI-Express slot at a sweet 1 million IOPS.

Setting records is always a great way to get leads, and additional product launches, partnerships and broken records may just carry the pioneering company to yet another spotlight.
