Fusion ioDrive2 Available in Japan

Fusion-io, Inc. and Tokyo Electron Device
announced the availability of the Fusion ioDrive2 and Fusion ioDrive2 Duo in
Japan.

The Fusion ioDrive2 products deliver up to 2.4TB of enterprise
flash performance into servers to accelerate applications with a solution that reduces the need to spend energy and
resources on legacy storage appliances or ineffective SSDs.

"Given Japan’s
well-deserved reputation for being one of the most innovative nations in the
world, we are very proud to introduce the ioDrive2 with Tokyo Electron Device
to help Japanese companies leverage their most important asset – data,"
said David Flynn, Fusion-io CEO and chairman. "Whether in online commerce, social media, financial systems, or
ensuring safe, on-schedule transportation systems, data is what powers our
world today. With the ioDrive2, companies can unlock latent performance in
their data centers in order to accelerate their applications while saving on
both capital and operational expenses."

"We are very pleased to be
able to offer the Fusion ioDrive2 in Japan. The new product improves I/O
acceleration even more than the previous model to dramatically boost
application performance," said Katsuyuki Amano, Tokyo Electron Device,
VP and GM CN Business. "We
are confident that the Fusion ioDrive2 is capable of meeting the need of
enterprises which use large databases and data warehouses or dealing with
research and development fields that require high performance computing. In
addition, we believe our customers will be able to gain cost savings and
improved profits, as the ioDrive2 can reduce datacenter hardware footprints. We
will continue to deliver Fusion-io’s innovative technologies to our customers,
together with our own high-quality service."

New features of the ioDrive2 and
ioDrive2 Duo include:

• Nearly symmetrical read and write access with low
  queue depth performance
• Low latency access for mixed
  workloads with 15 microsecond write latency, 3 GB/s bandwidth, over 850,000
  read IOPS and over 900,000 write IOPS
• Maximum capacity in the small footprint, with up to 2.4 TB of
  capacity to fuel server efficiency even in data-intensive environments
• Intelligent self-healing feature called Adaptive
  FlashBack provides chip level fault tolerance, which enables ioMemory
  to repair itself after a single chip or a multi-chip failure without
  interrupting business continuity
• System level integration with the Fusion-io VSL 3.0 software
  subsystem
• More work per unit of processing with the Fusion-io
  architecture, which continues to deliver performance increases as CPUs become
  more powerful
• Support for all major operating systems, including Windows,
  Linux, OSX, Solaris x86, ESXi 5.0 and HP-UX
• Field programmability, allowing IT professionals flexibility
  in customizing their ioMemory platform to meet the needs of their
  enterprise

The Fusion-io MLC ioDrive2 and ioDrive2 Duo is available in 365GB,
785GB, 1,205GB and 2.4TB capacities. SLC products in 400GB, 600GB and 1.2
