Fusion-io is a pioneer of a new storage memory platform that significantly improves the processing capabilities within a data center by moving process-critical, or active data closer to the CPU where it is processed. Called shared data decentralization, this significantly reduces latency while increasing data center efficiency. Fusion’s integrated hardware and software solutions leverage non-volatile memory for enterprise-grade performance, reliability, availability and manageability.
Founded in 2005 by a management team with experience in transaction processing, high-performance networking, storage, superclusters, and computing and image processing, Fusion-io recognized that mechanical storage architectures do not keep pace with advances in digital processing power. This meant that despite major advances in technology, data processing was limited to the speed of legacy storage infrastructures. Without a solution designed to maximize their capabilities, modern CPUs sit idle while they wait for data to process.
It’s Time to Lose the Wait
Fusion-io solves the data supply problem with a new purpose-built solution. By combining hardware and software to develop a reliable storage memory platform, Fusion-io gives servers native access to data to accelerate enterprise databases and applications. This allows enterprises to significantly reduce complex and expensive high performance storage, high performance networking, and memory-rich servers. In addition to accelerating performance, Fusion’s storage memory platform also reduces energy consumption and total cost of ownership.
Fusion’s ioMemory modules are one of the industry’s most efficient and cost effective resources for processing large amounts of data very quickly. One ioMemory module contains 100 times the capacity density of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, to provide applications fully scalable memory for accelerating throughput and reducing latency while driving higher performance density and efficiency in application server platforms.
Fusion’s Virtual Storage Layer (VSL) software allows ioMemory to operate as a storage memory tier within the enterprise server to provide servers direct access to data. Fusion’s directCache software extends the ioMemory platform and permits interoperability with traditional direct-attached, network-attached, storage area network-attached and appliance-attached backend storage systems.ioSphere is a suite of management software purpose-built for Fusion’s storage memory infrastructure and designed around Fusion’s data decentralization platform.
Fusion-io solutions are sold through a global direct sales force, as well as leading OEMs including Dell, HP. IBM, Supermicro and other channel partners. Numerous industries rely on Fusion-io to accelerate their enterprises, including leading web businesses, social media, finance, security, government and military organizations that have adopted ioMemory to supply their servers with the critical data they need most.
