100TB SSD-Based System From Texas Memory Acquired By Vion

Texas Memory Systems, Inc. announced that the ViON Corporation, located in Washington, D.C., has completed the sale of a 100 terabyte RamSan-6200 SSD solution to a single end-user customer.

This system is comprised of the industry leading RamSan-6200 delivering the lowest cost for performance, highest density, lowest latency Flash SSD solution on the market. The RamSan-6200, as ordered, provides more than 5,000,000 I/O’s per second and 60 GB’s per second of bandwidth. This installation is believed to be the largest Flash-based storage system in the world.

Solid state disk systems are used by large enterprise, government, military, and research organizations to accelerate their most critical applications. Larger and faster systems support more transactions and users with fewer servers and licenses making precious resources more productive. As such, the RamSan-6200 is more cost effective than adding large hard-disk based systems, server-based RAM, or expensive application tuning. Flash-based SSD systems like the RamSan-6200 offer dramatically greater capacities, lower costs, and power consumption than previously available.

"This sale demonstrates Texas Memory Systems’ and ViON’s continued leadership in deploying enterprise Flash solid state disk solutions," said Woody Hutsell, President at Texas Memory Systems. "While we have historically been known as a RAM SSD company, this sale shows that we are a force to be reckoned with in the Enterprise Flash market." Mike Jones, the Vice President of the ViON Corporation agrees, "We are excited about our continuing partnership with Texas Memory Systems, and the advanced technology that underlies our highest performance storage systems."

The groundbreaking RamSan-6200 solid state disk system provides up to 100 terabytes of ECC and RAID-protected Flash memory. It delivers 5,000,000 random read IOPS at roughly .072 ms average response time and up to 60 gigabytes per second of bandwidth using either Fibre Channel or InfiniBand interfaces. The low latency design and layers of data protection in the RamSan-6200 results in a system that is optimally balanced for critical enterprise, research, and government applications, such as large OLTP systems, data warehouses, video on demand, data rendering, geospatial analysis, seismic processing, and data acquisition.

The 5 million IOPS Flash memory-based RamSan-6200 is available today.
